Brie Emerson didn’t sign up to live in a city that doubles as a super-powered warzone, but that’s Mercer City for you. Between chasing deadlines as a senior editor for Epoch Magazine, managing a chronic illness, and dodging alien debris, she’s just trying to keep her life mostly intact.

​

Then there’s him.

The cape in white, blue and gold. Stratos. The world’s most powerful, and most infuriatingly private, superhero.

​

When a chance rescue lands Brie in his path, she starts to notice things no one else does. The human cracks in his perfect façade, the secrets hiding behind his mask… and the infuriatingly familiar way he makes her pulse race.

​

Alex Theron has spent years keeping his identities separate. Alex, the quiet scientist with a brother who meddles in his love life too much, and Stratos, the last of an alien race with enough power to destroy a planet. 

 

But Brie is sharp, relentless, and far too tempting. And when she starts asking questions about certain weather anomalies, she gets dangerously close to the truth he swore he’d never share.

​

As Mercer City teeters on the brink, hunted by monsters, haunted by conspiracies, Brie and Alex are drawn together in a storm neither of them saw coming.

​

Because falling in love with a superhero?

That’s the one story Brie never expected to write.
