Y/n has spent her life surrounded by machines, engines, and impossible problems. A gifted mechanical engineer who left home young to build a life of her own, she’s finally established herself as an independent adult with a career she’s proud of. Then she comes home. And suddenly, the familiar faces of her childhood look very different. Especially Frank Castle—her father’s oldest friend, a former soldier, and the intimidating man who’s been around since Y/n was a grease-covered kid hiding in the garage. Frank remembers the girl she used to be. Y/n is determined to make him see the woman she’s become. As old friendships, family connections, unexpected favors, and y/n’s demanding career bring them into each other’s orbit, the two discover that growing up has changed more than just appearances. Frank is determined to keep his distance. y/n isn’t interested in making things easy for him. Between sharp banter, guarded conversations, complicated family ties, and a man who would rather walk away than admit he cares, y/n finds herself facing the one problem she can’t solve with a wrench or a blueprint: Frank Castle. And for once, the most dangerous thing in the room might not be the person everyone thinks it is.
