Loss. Agony.
Nora knows them intimately. She's endured them again and again, etched into her soul by the choices of others-and sometimes, by her own. But what she doesn't realize is that the pain she carries might lead to her greatest loss yet.

Nora Reyes, once a captive of HYDRA and now a newly recruited avenger, had worked with SHEILD for three years now. Her mornings were always a blue haze of revenge, and nights an agonizing memory of her loss - taking away her sleep with it too. Sleepless, restless, and relentless, her goal is singular: to destroy the place that made her life a living hell.

Tony Stark, the man who no one really knows, hides his own ghosts beneath layers of wit and brilliance. But when the world quiets and the armor comes off, insomnia is his only companion. The genius, billionaire, playboy, philanthropist- these titles mean nothing when he lives in the shadow of his regrets, trapped in an endless loop of "what-ifs."

Two fractured souls.
Two lives defined by loss and desperation.
When sleepless nights draw Nora and Tony together, their bond becomes a fragile sanctuary-a place where the walls they've built start to crumble. He sees her pain mirrored in his own; she sees the man behind the suit no one else bothers to understand.

But every comfort comes with a price. And for two people who have lost so much, can they hold onto something good-or are they doomed to watch it slip away like everything else in their lives?
