You left your life, your job, and your best friend, and you didn't know if you'd ever go back. After a year away, your best friend, Sam Wilson, called you back into the city for a quick job, when you met his shiny and charismatic new partner, Joaquin Torres.

With only a few months of building on what you had with Joaquin, your life takes a turn for the worse. Your ex-husband is back in the city, and he's coming to work with Sam again, which means he's also going to be working with Joaquin. Oh, and you never told Joaquin you were married and divorced, let alone to the infamous Bucky Barnes.
