**Between the Lines**
Steve Rogers has fought wars, aliens, and impossible battles-but nothing is harder than keeping his feelings for Natasha Romanoff a secret.
While Steve quietly falls deeper in love, Natasha believes they're just friends, completely unaware of what's been right in front of her all along. As dangerous missions, close calls, and growing jealousy blur the line between friendship and something more, both of them must decide if risking everything is worth the chance at love.
A slow-burn friends-to-lovers romance filled with mutual pining, emotional tension, and a "will they, won't they?" that keeps everyone guessing-except the Avengers, who figured it out long ago.
