Nova was never really fond of superheroes. From their capes to the idea that a woman could serve as little more than a device to further the endless conflict of good and evil, you have to admit she's got a solid argument. It's a bit ironic that she doesn't like them because they seem to love her. After a chance encounter leads her into the arms of the hottest hero around, Spitfire, Nova is thrust into a world of capes and crusaders that just can't seem to let her be. Cover by @Sinadana

Perfect Redemption is the FOURTH book in the Perfect series, and follows Jax's story after the events of PERFECT ADDICTION, which is now a film. ***** Jax Deneris is the definition of the devil. He has a knack for twisting and manipulating his words to get whatever he wants. He's a monster. He cheated on his girlfriend of three years. With her very own sister. He fights in underground tournaments and won't hesitate to kill anyone standing in the way of his victory. He's also 200 pounds of hotness and every single girl who he's ever fucked with or over knows it. He doesn't deserve to get redemption. He is wicked, malicious and pure evil. He burns everything he touches. Still, that doesn't mean he won't try to burn me. He's marked me for life. I see it in his eyes. When he wants something, he will get it. Jax Deneris always gets what he wants. But he won't get me. I'm not falling for his bullshit. I'm not going to let him past my defenses. If the devil wants me, then I'll have to use his own weapon against him. It's time to fight fire with fire. [People's Choice Award Winner '16]

We're not in love. Our past is a dumpster fire. The best we are is friends with benefits... without the friends' part. Jake Harrison, USC's star quarterback, goes through girls faster than jock straps. If that's not disgusting enough, he's my best friend's brother and my prime motivation for celibacy. Transferring to UCLA means finally getting out of my dad's house. All I want is to stay under the social radar, make Dad proud by earning my paralegal certification, and get out of Los Angeles. When Jake learns I'm nearby, the cocky jerk will stop at nothing to rekindle what didn't work before. He thinks he's grown and matured past the boy who crushed my teenage heart. I think he's taken too many tackles into the turf, but when he proposes a stress management agreement during his season... I can't help but see his point. His seven-and-a-half-inch point. The last time we indulged, we got sloppy. Not the good kind-soul-crushing feelings-sloppy. My brain knows cutting ties was for the best, but the rest of my body still hates me. But I won't be made a fool again. This time, I have rules: No attachment. No cuddles. And no falling in love.
