Brooklyn, 1941. The world's on the edge of war, but in a quiet corner of the city, Y/N's life is simple-early mornings at the café, late afternoon walks with her best friend Steve, and a heart guarded like a secret. Enter James Buchanan Barnes. All charm, a wink, and a smile that gets him anything-or anyone-he wants. Except her. She's not interested in being another name on his list. And he's not used to hearing the word "no." But the more she pulls away, the more he finds himself chasing something he doesn't understand-something real. Because when love wasn't part of the plan, what happens when it sneaks up on you anyway? He was never supposed to fall. And she swore she'd never let him win. But the heart's a funny thing-especially in the middle of a war.
