Nadine Madaki is a ghost. An unpredictable menace for intelligence agencies, a threat to corrupt organizations, you'd think a woman with her set of skills wouldn't get involved in anything that could potentially force her into the public eye.

Well, she can confirm that she didn't do it willingly.

Unfortunately, when the infamous Black Widow calls to cash in a favor, it's a little impossible to refuse. This favor, however, involved not one, but TWO super soldiers, and a pararescue airman running from the law.

All Nadine knows is that one mistake could cost her everything, including her life.

STORY DISCLAIMER

I do not own any of the Marvel characters mentioned in this book. All Marvel content is owned by Marvel Studios and Marvel Comics.

This story was started before Avengers: Infinity War (2019) came out. Therefore, any differences from the canon storyline are due to lack of knowledge of what was to come. It wasn't intentionally done that way, but alas, things happen, and I was halfway through the storyline to change it.

Lastly, this story has a sequel called Crossfire. You can find it on my page.

Much love. <3
