When the world calls for heroes, sometimes it gets a misfit team instead.
Detective Aurora River, sharp-eyed and silver-tongued, is the last person James "Bucky" Barnes expects to see on the frontlines of the Flag Smashers investigation. Brought in to help Sam Wilson untangle the mystery behind the stolen vaccines, Aurora's sunny optimism and knack for finding common ground clash spectacularly with Bucky's blunt demeanor and perpetual scowl.
Aurora isn't just any detective; she's brilliant at spotting the lies people hide and the truths they overlook-a skill Bucky both admires and finds infuriating. Her determination to pull their fractured trio together grates against his carefully guarded walls, but Aurora sees the cracks in his armor and refuses to look away.
As they chase leads across continents, the tension between them simmers, sparks flying in every heated exchange and unspoken glance. Through danger, deception, and a fight against their own demons, Bucky begins to realize that maybe Aurora isn't the annoyance he first thought-maybe she's exactly what he needs.
But in a world fractured by chaos and division, can two opposites truly find harmony? And when the battle intensifies, will the "fox" and the "wolf" learn to trust each other before it's too late?
A story of tension, healing, and the unlikeliest of partnerships, The Fox and The Wolf explores what happens when a lonely soldier and an unyielding optimist discover that together, they're stronger than they ever were apart.
If you asked Doctor Aurora "Rori" Harris if she was your average psychologist, she would undoubtedly tell you most definitely 'Yes!'. She worked long hours, took her work home with her most nights, cared deeply for her patients. She went above and beyond for those she cares about; it's just who she is. The reality was that she is not your average Psychologist; she has a particular set of gifts. When Sam Wilson and Captain America call upon her to help track down Captain Rogers childhood friend, James Buchanan Barnes 'Bucky' AKA the Winter Soldier. She can't turn them down; she wants to help in any way she can. But will she keep her promise to Steve and Sam? Will she tell them where Bucky is? Or will she get attached to this broken shell of a man?
