In Abby Hamilton's world, superheroes do more than just stop crime and save cats stuck in trees - they also drink milk straight from the carton and hog the television remote. Abby's older brother moonlights as the famous Red Comet, but without powers of her own, following in his footsteps has never crossed her mind. That is, until the city's newest vigilante comes bursting into her life. After saving Abby from an attempted mugging, Morriston's fledgling supervillain Iron Phantom convinces her that he's not as evil as everyone says - and that their city is under a vicious new threat. As Abby follows him deeper into their city's darkest secrets, she comes to learn that heroes can't always be trusted, and sometimes it's the good guys who wear black.

‘It would be addictive, enthralling and consuming. Her readers would not be able to put the book down until the final sentence. It would be the next big thing. This, she knew.’ Sophia Drakos is an author - in the sense that she writes books, not that she actually gets published. Having been rejected by publishers too many times to keep count, she finally decides to craft the ultimate novel; the true money-maker. One that would make her name famous in every house and even spawn a blockbuster movie: Romance. She already has the perfect protagonist; Ariel Winters, the exotic, curvaceous example of everything Sophia was not. Later, she would decide that was where everything had gone wrong. Ariel was attractive, and certainly addictive. Sophia can’t stop writing, images of Ariel dominating her every thought. Soon, Sophia finds herself trapped in her own, perceptively real, literary otherworld created for Ariel’s romantic escapades with the sexy police officer, Jack. Initially a dream, Sophia’s reality quickly transforms into a nightmare as she discovers the horrible truth about her efficacy. Ariel knows she is being stalked, Jack is romantically redundant and none of the characters submit to her expectations. Can she stay balanced and in control, or will she succumb to the lure of absolute power as The Author?
