A sequel to 'The Winter She Made' They were made by HYDRA. Remade by Wakanda. And now-they're trying to live like the world can't take anything else from them. Katherine Zola spent her life following orders she never chose-raised by a ghost, trained to seduce and dismantle, and ultimately tasked with delivering Sergeant James Buchanan Barnes into the hands of the very program that would erase him. That was then. Now she wakes up in D.C. with sunlight on the floor, a wedding ring on her finger, a daughter who laughs with her whole chest, and a husband who looks at her like forgiveness is a language he was born speaking. The Winter Soldier is gone. Persephone is a ghost. And for the first time in her life, Katherine is building something that doesn't require her to bleed for it. Bucky Barnes is done spilling blood for someone else's cause. These days, he fights with bills instead of teeth. Words instead of weapons. Trying to reshape the world that once broke them with nothing more than policy and sheer, stubborn hope. For a man engineered to kill, he's learning how to repair. And Katherine is learning too. Not how to be harmless-she never will be-but how to be whole. How to love without punishment. How to stay. So when the Thunderbolts Initiative rises-an uneasy alliance of ex-criminals, ghosts, outcasts, and shadows the world tried to forget-she agrees. Not out of punishment. Not out of penance. Out of choice. Because if Bucky's going to carry the weight of their history into battle again, she refuses to let him carry it alone. Because she understands better than anyone what it means to be repurposed. To be salvaged. To be feared. The Thunderbolts aren't Avengers. They aren't symbols. They're survivors. And maybe-if they're careful-they're the beginning of something stronger. Something new. Monsters break things. But the two of them-the Winter she made, the past she undid-they are learning how to mend. Together.

***For those of you familiar with 'The Fall', this is Steve and Caroline's story; this book's timeline begins on January 23, 2020.*** Everyone knows Captain America...only a few know Steve Rogers, the man behind the shield. While it's common knowledge that he carries a torch for the late Peggy Carter, only a handful of people know that he's ready for a second chance at love; that he wants the type of relationship his best friend, Bucky, has with his soulmate, Réa. Caroline Sullivan is recovering from her own heartbreak. A widow doing her best to raise her young son, Adam-who lost his arm in the same accident that took her late husband's life-she's pretty sure she's done with love. She settled once before, and refuses to do it again...she wants unconditional love, the kind that can weather any storm and become stronger and deeper for it. To Bucky, Réa, and the Avengers, it's clear that there is something between Steve and Caroline...but will they admit and embrace it, or will the wounds of their pasts and their own fears keep them apart?

The war with Hydra took out nearly all of the Avengers. Nina Ortiz swore she'd never stop loving Bucky Barnes, the man she lost to war and Hydra's cruelty. His memory has been her anchor until Steve Rogers becomes something more than the man who shares her grief. They never truly got along, with Bucky serving as the buffer between them. Now, with him gone, their constant clashes are unbearable for their only remaining teammate, Peter Parker. Yet beneath every argument lies an undeniable connection, an attraction that feels dangerous, a pull that makes every stolen glance feel like betrayal. But there's no time to untangle forbidden feelings. Hydra is not gone, and with the Avengers fractured, Nina and Steve are forced to fight side by side to stop the threat before it wipes them out for good. At Nick Fury's command, they must rebuild the Avengers even as they battle Hydra's resurgence. As the war closes in, Nina must decide: can she honor Bucky's memory while giving her heart a second chance or will love cost them everything?

Winter sees her for the first time during a mission, and that one look is all it takes to become obsessed. Now, she's in his every thought and dream. Too bad he tried to kill her when they first met, but now he knows nothing can happen to her because he will make sure she's safe. No one will touch her. No one will hurt her. No one will come near what is his. Maya De La Cruz is one of SHEILDS' best agents, but when she nearly dies after being shot by a mysterious assassin, she thinks her career will never recover. She sees shadows everywhere, and she swears she's being stalked. When an opportunity appears to finally take the assassin down, she doesn't hesitate; she knows this time, she'll succeed. At least that's what she thinks until he starts protecting her. Fan-Fiction, Dark Romance, Stalker, Marvel, The Winter Soldier, Spice, Avengers

Special Operations Executive (S.O.E.) Agent Danica Magennis is determined to prove she's just as--if not more--capable as her male counterparts. When she finds herself on the World War II battlefront, working with the Strategic Scientific Reserve, she believes this is her chance...however, one charming, American Sergeant soon becomes a distraction she wasn't prepared for. Sergeant James "Bucky" Barnes has never met anyone quite like Danica. She's clever, strong, beautiful...and completely immune to his flirtatious ways. At first, he simply enjoys playfully bantering with the feisty, curvaceous redhead, but it doesn't take long for a genuine friendship to form. As the War rages, the pair continue to grow closer...until one night--and one mission--changes everything. When they reunite after decades apart, will they find solace in each other's arms, or are some things just too broken to salvage?
