In 1947, Steve Rogers was America's hero, but to Arabella Vers, he was simply Steve. After he saves someone close to her, she thanks him, and one conversation turns into a dance that neither of them will ever forget. Arabella quickly becomes someone Steve trusts, someone he talks to about everything, even with Tony Stark and Peggy. But when Bucky leaves on a mission, Arabella is kidnapped by Hydra, leaving Steve with only one promise: if they ever find her, tell her he still owes her a dance. Then Steve falls into the ice. Seventy years later, he wakes up in a completely different world, joins the Avengers, and discovers that Hydra has infiltrated S.H.I.E.L.D. During a mission, Steve comes face-to-face with the Winter Soldier and a mysterious Hydra operative known as the Night Viper. When her mask comes off, Steve realizes she is Arabella-the woman he loved and thought he lost forever. But she doesn't remember him. As Steve tries to bring back her memories, he discovers that Hydra and the Red Room have torn Arabella's family apart, taking her little sister Esme and separating her from the people she loves. Now Steve and Arabella must face Hydra, the Red Room, old enemies, buried memories, and a love that somehow survived seventy years. This is a story of revenge, family, betrayal, sacrifice, and a slow-burn journey from lovers to enemies to lovers. Six characters. Six stories. One war. And a love that was never truly forgotten. 🖤
