Hero Complex Bold Strokes Books

Being labeled a mad scientist doesn't faze Bronte Scales. Accidentally gaining superpowers didn't even seem that strange. It's not until she realizes someone is out to get her and her do-it-yourself super tech invention, that she reluctantly becomes one part of a superpowered crime fighting team. Then things really get out of hand. And somewhere along the way she accidentally kidnaps a nurse--a smart, kind, and beautiful sort of nurse. Bronte's screwed.

Athena Papadaki doesn't have superpowers, but she's scary good at squeezing everything she can from each waking minute. That feels heroic until she's kidnapped by a group of knuckleheads who need more rescuing than she does. Once she's done saving the day, she'll walk away and most certainly never think about Bronte Scales ever again. Nothing to see here.

Can Bronte and Athena, and their unlikely friends, work together to defeat Bronte's arch nemesis? The fate of love, humanity, and the world might depend on it. No pressure.
