Whispers in the South Wing
Vivienne Thatcher wanted a simple life. One where you go to work and come home. Simple, calm, and predictable. That, however, changed when she was assigned James "Bucky" Barnes as her boss, once the Winter Soldier, now a freshman Congressman representing Brooklyn. Bucky Barnes never asked for an assistant, nor did he want one. How hard could it be on his own? Bucky soon finds out Congress is something HYDRA never prepared him for. What they also didn't prepare him for is a 21st-century woman who is not afraid to take charge. ChatGPT used for book cover. Follow their journey as Vivienne Thatcher (aka Viv) has to deal with Bucky not only as her handsome boss, but also as an exceedingly unhelpful one.

But when he accidentally photobombs your mirror selfie, the internet explodes with conspiracy theories about "the mystery man's hand." You weren't trying to soft-launch your love life. But now the world is watching. And Bucky? He's not exactly denying it either. The chapters are short, ~600 words each. THIS STORY HAS BEEN WRITTEN MOSTLY USING AI.

He smirks, biting my ear. >>><<< Alexis can never seem to catch a break. The girl who plays the role of a babysitter for the notorious Tony Stark, is hiding a secret.
