After a failed attempt at setting their best friends up with one another, Steve Rogers and Peggy Carter swore they'd never attempt to play matchmaker again. Bucky Barnes and Maggie Hastings are not an epic love story. They loathe each other. A tragic twist of fate brings the foes together again when they are left to become the legal guardians of Lizzie Rogers, Steve and Peggy's daughter. Facing a difficult co-parenting situation where both only want the best for the little girl while living under the same roof, Bucky and Maggie struggle in more ways than one.
