Book Summary:

The Budapest movie we all wanted...
but with a twist.

Zoya Petrova has been awaiting one thing her entire life, death. The sweet kiss of death that Clint Barton was supposed to grant her, but didn't. Instead, he made another call. One that granted her and her sister Natasha Romanoff a whole new life than the one they've been stuck living since childhood.

Clint Barton introduces them to the life of freedom, family, and heroism, and Zoya absolutely hates him for it. She was not supposed to live this life of luxury. She is a spy, born and bred to bleed until her least breath. So what happens when she's warily accepted into S.H.I.E.L.D. and her new mission partner is the person she despises the most?

Clint Barton shows Zoya Petrova a new life worth living and Zoya shows him just how much of a pain in the ass she can be, but also how to loosen up and have fun. Perhaps they discover others things about each other along the way....

Sneak Peaks:

(Bc I have no self control and love them)

SP #1: "You know, people usually say thank you for this kind of thing." "Oh I'm sorry, am I being ungrateful? Am I supposed to thank you for saving my life when I didn't want to be saved?" "Oh yeah, and why's that?" "Simple. I wasn't worth saving." "How does someone think so highly of themselves yet so little at the same time?" "Wouldn't you like to know?" "Yeah, I would."

SP #2: "I'm going to make you regret doing that every single day for the rest of your life." "What a pleasure, I'll be counting the days."

SP #3: "I think you're actually starting to like me." "Well we wouldn't want that, now would we?"

SP #4: "Hey! What the hell was that?" "What's got your panties in a twist, Barton?" "You could've gotten me killed!" "Oh damn, next time I'll try harder."

SP #5: "Oh you've got to be fucking kidding me!" "What is it now? Oh." "I will blow my fucking brains out before I share a bed with you, Barton." "Fine by me, Petrova. I'll enjoy this queen sized mattress all to myself."
