Superheroes? I guess you can call them that. But the plain and simple truth is that they are much more than the stories in the comics that everyone grew up with. In the real world, past the fiction, they are playing both the hero and the villain. Keeping the increasingly dangerous terrorists out of the U.S., and crossing names off their threat list. People go missing, bad and good. Guilty and innocent. So where did these heroes come from? No one has been able to pin point the answer to this question, even though it was right under their noses.

Anyone But Her
Wren and Kenna hated each other in high school. Now mature-ish adults, they still hate each other. The problem? They're engaged. A year away from marriage, according to two of the most powerful people in the world: their parents. ***** Wren Castile and Kenna Gold are engaged...because their parents say so (and no, they're not kidding). Wren has one year to marry her former nemesis, or else. The fact that Kenna emulated her infamously anti-gay father throughout high school seems to be irrelevant--even to Kenna herself. Suddenly Wren and the girl she never wanted to see again are on the same (bickering) side as they face mandatory dates, disastrous family get-togethers, and their unhappy past. Wren is filled with mistrust, but to protect her heart, she might just have to sit back and let it lead the way. Content/Trigger Warning: This story contains references to and/or scenes of homophobia, childhood trauma, bullying, violence, and suicide.
