Daisy Rogers lives in the quiet ache of loss - mourning her parents, caring for her brother Steve, and working herself to the bone in a Brooklyn that's already breaking.
Bucky Barnes, Steve's loyal best friend, watches her from the edges - a slow-burning love he dares not speak aloud. To Daisy, he's just Steve's friend: loud, reckless, and oblivious to the way her heart is already claimed by grief and survival.
When Bucky is drafted, fear and yearning pull tight between them, but the secrets they keep - from Steve, from each other - build walls no war can break.
Then the war takes everything.
Neither Steve nor Bucky return, and Daisy is left alone, carrying their memory in a city that never stops moving - and a heart that never stops waiting.
