Cecilia Valentini Barnes never had a chance at a normal life-created in Hydra's labs with the blood of beasts, raised in the shadows, and trained to be a living weapon. She's dangerous, untrusting, and haunted by the things she was forced to do.
When Nick Fury pulls her out of hiding to join the Avengers Initiative, Cecilia doesn't expect to bond with anyone, let alone her. Natasha Romanoff-sharp, composed, and impossible to read-sees through Cecilia's armor in ways that unnerve her.
There's something magnetic about the assassin's quiet strength and the way she doesn't flinch from Cecilia's darker edges. And while Natasha tells herself she's just keeping an eye on Fury's wildcard, she can't ignore the tug she feels toward the wild girl. They circle each other carefully-two predators with scars too deep to name, drawn together by something neither of them is ready to face.
