Sequel to LEGACY: A Bucky Barnes Love Story.
Jennifer "Jaige" Coulson thought her darkest days were behind her, but peace is fleeting when you love a man haunted by his past. James Buchanan Barnes, once the feared Winter Soldier, battles every day to escape the grip of his deadly legacy. Together, they forged an unbreakable bond, surviving relentless enemies who see Bucky as nothing more than a weapon.
But safety is an illusion.
When Baron Zemo resurfaces with a plot that threatens their freedom and the world's balance of power, Jaige and Bucky are thrust back into a life of danger. With the mysterious Lorea and shifting alliances-including Steve Rogers and T'Challa-their trust in one another is put to the test. As Jaige uncovers secrets that could shatter her faith in Bucky, she faces a devastating choice: Can they escape the past, or will it destroy everything they've fought for?
In this high-stakes sequel, love, loyalty, and survival collide. Jaige and Bucky's relationship will be tested like never before, and the only thing more dangerous than the fight for survival is the battle for their future together.

Setting: After CA:TWS until/during/after CA:CW - 2014 - 2016. NOTE: As the events of this book take place over two years, there will be multiple time skips/jumps in order for the story to progress without getting boring or repetitive. Just a heads up if that's not your jam.
My OC belongs to me, anything associated with Marvel doesn't; I just use them as my playthings.
NOTE: This story is for people 18+. There are mature themes explored in this story including but not limited to: suicide, violence, trauma, and graphic sex. There are warnings above each chapter, but just forewarning you. If you are under 18+, I'd suggest you find something else to read: 1) I don't want to corrupt you. 2) I don't need angry parents/guardians coming for me. But ultimately I can't stop you if you do decide to read this story.
