Steve Rogers offered Y/N a place on the Avengers years ago. She said no. Instead, she spent years hiding from the people hunting her and the abilities they wanted to control. When she finally decides she’s done running, joining the Avengers is supposed to be a fresh start. Everyone welcomes her. Everyone except Bucky Barnes.
The Avengers have decided you need a date. You reluctantly agree to a blind date with a mysterious colleague, only to spend the entire evening waiting for someone who never shows. What you don’t know is that your mystery date is James Barnes—the colleague who has secretly liked you for months. And he has absolutely no idea that the woman he just stood up is you. Now you have to work alongside the man who broke your heart without even knowing he’d done it. Maybe the Avengers’ matchmaking plan wasn’t such a good idea after all.
After the Battle of New York, Thor brings Loki back to Earth and places him under the Avengers’ supervision. Y/N has no reason to trust him. Loki, on the other hand, seems determined to change her mind. What begins as a game of teasing, charm, and carefully calculated flirtation soon becomes something neither of them expected. Because the more Loki tries to get under her skin, the harder it becomes to tell where the game ends and his feelings begin. And Y/N isn’t exactly making it easy for him.
