  Summary

  Shaun Spencer is a famous private investigator and you're his secretary. At least that's what you tell everyone. The 1940s aren't ready for a detective that's a woman. So you and Shaun carefully lie every single day.

  But when the mob comes knocking on your door, the lies start to unravel. Can you keep the truth from the Winter Soldier? Or will someone finally see you for who you really are?
