"Who do you trust when no one trusts you?"
James Buchanan Barnes. Once a decorated soldier, then a feared assassin. Now, the most controversial defendant the world has ever seen.
When Bucky Barnes is brought before an international tribunal for crimes committed under Hydra control, the world demands justice - and blood.
Emily Grey, criminal defence attorney and Bucky's closest friend, refuses to represent him in court. She's too close. Too conflicted. Too broken by everything they've both survived.
But watching from the sidelines as the system prepares to tear him apart proves harder than she ever imagined. As the trial draws near, Emily finds herself drawn deeper into the case - her legal instincts clashing with a promise she made to herself and to Bucky.
Caught between duty and loyalty, law and emotion, Emily must decide if she can face the courtroom - and the ghosts of their past - to stand for the man she refuses to lose.

Will she finally confide in the Avengers and the man she is hopelessly in love with? Will a love confession from an unanticipated suitor keep Bucky from being with the woman he has loved for years?
