Summary
Chloe's life is simple.
Work the late shift at her favorite New York bar. Try not to think too hard about the man who sits in the same corner every night at exactly 9:17 p.m. The stranger never says much. He drinks the same whiskey, watches every exit. Then she discovers his identity. He's not just a customer. He's Bucky Barnes, the Winter Soldier. What begins as late-night conversations and reluctant friendship quickly grows into something neither of them expected. Beneath Bucky's guarded exterior is a man struggling to outrun a painful past, while Chloe finds herself becoming the one person who sees James Barnes instead of the weapon he once was. But danger follows the Winter Soldier wherever he goes. As old enemies emerge from the shadows and a terrifying figure from Bucky's past sets his sights on Chloe, their growing connection is put to the ultimate test. Because loving someone like Bucky Barnes comes with a price-and some people will do anything to make him suffer.
Caught between heartbreak, healing, laughter, and danger, Chloe and Bucky must decide if they're willing to fight for a future together.
After all, the hardest battle isn't surviving the war.
It's learning how to live after it.Series
