DuchessSnipe
Steve Rogers thought he understood duty. Honor. War. Sacrifice.
What he never expected-was her.
Aria Anastasia Leopold: poised, brilliant, and hauntingly beautiful, born into old money and sharper secrets. When fate crosses their paths on a stormy Brooklyn street, Steve is captivated by more than her beauty - it's her pain, her composure, and the quiet power in her restraint that pulls him in.
What begins as a fleeting encounter blossoms into something extraordinary: a love that is slow-burning yet undeniable, gentle yet deeply consuming. As Aria navigates betrayal, family legacy, and the pressure of empire, Steve becomes her constant-steadfast, protective, and devastatingly tender. In him, she finds a kind of love she never thought she'd trust again. In her, he discovers a future he never dared to hope for.
From secret rendezvous to candlelit confessions, from playful teasing to heart-stopping passion, their love story unfolds in moonlit pools, bruised shoulders, and whispered dreams of something more. But when the stakes rise and the world begins to notice, Aria and Steve must decide how far they'll go to protect their sanctuary-and the quiet life they're building together.
Because some battles aren't fought on battlefields.
Some are fought in the heart.
