Special Operations Executive (S.O.E.) Agent Danica Magennis is determined to prove she's just as--if not more--capable as her male counterparts. When she finds herself on the World War II battlefront, working with the Strategic Scientific Reserve, she believes this is her chance...however, one charming, American Sergeant soon becomes a distraction she wasn't prepared for.
Sergeant James "Bucky" Barnes has never met anyone quite like Danica. She's clever, strong, beautiful...and completely immune to his flirtatious ways. At first, he simply enjoys playfully bantering with the feisty, curvaceous redhead, but it doesn't take long for a genuine friendship to form.
As the War rages, the pair continue to grow closer...until one night--and one mission--changes everything.
When they reunite after decades apart, will they find solace in each other's arms, or are some things just too broken to salvage?

The Winter She Made
They were forged in war and fractured by the same hands that made them monsters. Katherine Zola was born with a name she never chose, the daughter of HYDRA's most notorious architect. A child genius, a living weapon, and the program's most effective ghost. Her mission logs were sealed in blood and buried in silence-until one day, she was given a name: Sergeant James Buchanan Barnes. She didn't know why HYDRA wanted him-not at first. Only that she was ordered to track, weaken, and retrieve him. That her mission began before his fall from the train in 1945. That she was the reason he ended up in enemy hands. And she did it. She followed orders. She delivered him. What she didn't expect was to care. What she didn't plan for was falling in love with the man she helped damn. Bucky Barnes thought he was just another casualty of HYDRA-another soldier stripped of self and turned into a weapon. But the truth was darker. His capture wasn't chance. It was chosen. He was targeted by a girl with smoke in her lungs, ghosts in her eyes, and a lie tucked in her smile. A girl who became everything to him, right before she disappeared. Decades later, they stand on opposite sides of the same war-both survivors of mind control, both drowning in guilt. And both still tethered to each other by a past neither can outrun. Because she was his mission long before he ever became hers. -Set during Captain America: The First Avenger, Captain America: Civil War, Avengers: Infinity War, The Falcon and The Winter Soldier, Thunderbolts -long book, buckle up for the ride. #1 in thewintersoldier 9.24.25 #1 in original character 9.23.25 #1 in natasharomanoff 12.28.25 #1 in avengersfanfiction 1.6.26 #2 in jamesbarnes 9.24.25 #3 in samwilson 10.9.25 #3 in marvel 12.30.25 #6 in wintersoldier 9.24.25Complete

Ashes Before Embers - Bucky Barnes
He was supposed to go to war. She was supposed to stay behind. Neither of them were supposed to burn. In 1943, Cassandra Hawthorne is a brilliant weapons engineer and scientist working quietly behind the scenes of the war effort. She's sharp, guarded, and far too busy saving the world to waste time on charming soldiers with crooked smiles. Until James Buchanan Barnes walks into her life - all soft smirks and sudden sincerity - and ruins everything. A slow, sweet kind of romance blooms between experiments and letters. But the war doesn't wait for anyone. When Bucky is deployed, the world begins to shift, and soon Cassandra finds herself caught in the same nightmare that stole him. What begins with a goodbye ends in experiments, betrayal, and a silence that lasts decades. After all - she built the arm that broke him. And somewhere, locked behind a Hydra door, her sister still waits.
