Synopsis

Superheroes. Save the world and protect mankind.

But what’s beneath the cape? Behind the mask? Under the steel-plated façade?

Eight bestselling New Adult romance authors have come together to bring you seven stories about superheroes and what it takes to win their hearts. From the skies, to the cities, to the ocean, our superheroes face death, fight villains, conquer evil and—

Find love.

The world is full of heroes. Every-day men and women who risk their lives for the sake of others—for life, liberty, freedom, and justice. Often these men and women are wounded—physically or mentally—in the line of duty. Therefore, we have created this anthology with the sole purpose of benefitting the Wounded Warrior Project.

Because heroes should never be forgotten.

Excerpt

The Only Difference by Magan Vernon

She shook her head again. "No. It's fine. I can walk."

Without even thinking I slid off my Chucks and then pushed them toward her.

She looked down at the ground, then back at me, raising an eyebrow. "What are you doing?"

I nudged my shoes toward her. "If you won't let me drive you or get your shoes then take mine."

She shook her head. "I can't do that."

"Please. I insist." I rummaged through my pocket until I pulled out my cell phone and typed a few numbers into it before facing it toward her. "And here's my number. I'd put it in your phone myself, but I don't want to reach down your shirt. I doubt you'll let me walk you, so please just call me when you get there."

Her blue eyes were locked on me for what felt like forever before she pulled her phone out of her shirt and typed on it. She didn't speak. Not a single word. She just slowly slid my shoes on.

Reluctantly I let go of her arms and she walked around me, only briefly glancing back before she was swallowed by the night.

I sat down on one of the benches and let out a deep puff of air. My heart was beating so fast that I thought it was going to pound right through my chest.

I never did things like that. I never stood up to my brothers or invested that much time into girls. This was all new territory.

It could have been seconds. Minutes. Or even hours that I sat there. It wasn't until my phone buzzed in my hand that I was knocked out of my trance and looked down at it.

I'm home. Thanks for the shoes. See you around.

It may not have been much but there was something about that text that made my heart beat even faster. Maybe I wasn't a superhero, but whatever this adrenaline burst was, I didn't want it to stop.
