Placed like a blade among broken weapons: the Thunderbolts. Leading them is James Buchanan Barnes-former Winter Soldier, reluctant hero, a man with walls no one's ever broken through. Thrown into a team built on secrets and second chances, she's tasked with more than survival. She's meant to keep an eye on Barnes. Control him, if necessary. But what happens when the only thing she can control is her own downfall? A slow-burn descent into trust, betrayal, and a connection that should never have been possible.

Until a naive small-town girl becomes his personal assistant, as she unwittingly pulls him into unfamiliar territory, James finds himself navigating uncharted waters of emotion and desire.
