He's the Winter Soldier. A ghost of war, haunted by every life he's taken. She's Sparrow. Hydra's deadliest weapon - until she broke free. Thrown together under Stark's watch, Aria Cole and Bucky Barnes are forced into a partnership neither of them asked for. Their banter is sharp, their scars sharper, and every mission drags them closer to a truth they can't ignore. Because for the first time in years, Bucky finds someone who sees the man, not the monster. And for Aria, the word he calls her - sweetheart - might just undo every wall she's ever built. But in a world where loyalty is a weapon and love is a liability... falling for him could be the one mission she won't survive.
