   Summary

   Valerie lives by one rule- never get tied down. A master of deception, she's spent years slipping through the cracks of society. Heiress by name, thief by trade, and con artist when the occasion demands. But when a high-stakes heist lands her in the crosshairs of the Avengers, she's given an ultimatum- join their ranks or face the consequences. Forced to play hero alongside a team she doesn't trust and constantly butting heads with Steve Rogers, Val must confront the ghosts of her past and the walls she's built around her heart. As tensions rise and her carefully guarded secrets unravel, she's left questioning if fighting alone is truly worth it anymore.
