The female lead shares some characteristics with my favorite character from BBC's Call The Midwife, Trixie, so there will be some nods to that series as well. 

RATED MATURE - this book deals with several heavy themes, and is therefore only advised for mature audiences. Please see the list for further info. If you are not comfortable with any of the below mentioned, do not continue.
Seriously, this is the only warning I give you. I shall not be held accountable for any therapy you may require.

Violence and gore - there are several fights scenes throughout the book, where people get seriously wounded and possibly even die.
Psychological torture, imprisonment, and manipulation - if an opponent cannot be brought down physically, expect trickery and lies to ensue.
Medical afflictions and/or procedures - there are several scenes that include medical jargon, as the story deals with issues such as illness, accidents, births, miscarriages, etc. The main characters involved in these scenes have medical training, and I've done my research to be as historically accurate as possible.
Physical and emotional trauma, self-harm - I do not go easy on my characters. They will experience things like the loss of a loved-one, moral crossroads, jealousy, desire for revenge, reliving and facing actions from the past, etc. There are a few instances where self-harm is discussed, and an attempt will be made, but the character is halted before anything major happens.
Explicit sexual content - though not until much later in the story, there are some sex scenes. Actions and feelings are described in detail. Note that all characters in these scenes are consenting adults. One chapter handles a fine line between consent/non-consent, but I've added a warning to further explain the scene.

I use several languages that are also used in the MCU such as Russian, German, and Xhosa (for Wakanda). Translations are provided in brackets underneath, so anyone who isn't familiar with the language can still enjoy the dialogue.
 

To help those who aren't familiar with the MCU yet still wish to read, I recommend watching the following three five-minute-summaries of Captain America; The First Avenger, Captain America; Civil War and Black Widow. Events and characters from these three movies will be mentioned throughout this book, so the brief videos will help you know who is who and what happened right before the start of the story.
If you don't want to watch, that's fine, too. I'll happily answer questions, but may refer to the videos in this author's note.

IMPORTANT NOTICE;

I have a very mild form of autism, and I need to have everything in a certain order or placement. This being said, I will not accept any comments on the spacing between paragraphs. There is no spacing in actual books/novels, so stop commenting on this or using it as an excuse not to read a story. This should not matter, and there's no written rule on Wattpad on formatting. You read a story because you want to learn the tale and get immersed in the author's world, not because of spacing.

Keep this in mind. Please be respectful and thank you for understanding.
