By day she's Lucy Tempest, civil engineer major. By night, or whenever she has time not studying, doing projects, or maintaining a social life... She's Lady Lightning, half of the dynamic duo the Storm Siblings.
***
Following the legacy of their parents Captain Storm and Lady Frost, Lucy and her brother Lucas once shared the dream of ending crime in St. Jerome as the heroic Storm Siblings. But while Lucy grew out of childhood fantasies and chose to go to college in a new city, Luke couldn't seem to turn off his super hero mode. Lucy wants to find ways to fight evil without her mask on, but Luke seems to think that real heroes don't use city maps and roads to get the work done.
The compromise? Lucy stretches her double life even thinner to keep her brother content and prove that heroes don't always wear masks. She'll battle book reports and baddies, navigate a budding romance, and build friendships with the most unlikely people.
When a series of seemingly unrelated incidents spiral their city into chaos, Lucy's beliefs about who takes what identity in the fight between good vs. evil begin to waver. The villain she's been told to despise because of his mask suddenly becomes the one person who can help stop a madman from burning St. Jerome to the ground. Relationships forged in the black-and-white world of super heroism are tested as the world behind her own mask begins to appear more grey than she ever thought possible.
As she confronts the demons hiding in the hearts of good and bad alike, Lucy must draw her line in the sand and fight for what she believes is right, even if it tears apart everything she worked so hard to create as Lady Lightning.

Villain Complex [WATTYS WINNER 2022] [PREVIEW ONLY, NOW PUBLISHED]
PREVIEW ONLY | WATTYS WINNER 2022 | If killing a superhero were easy, everyone would do it. But for Julian Godfrey, defeating Storm Warning was far from the hardest part. What began as victory over the city's biggest hero quickly unravels into a mess, once he learns that the mysterious source of Storm Warning's power has found a new host. Charlotte Hathaway has no idea how to use her new abilities, but she won't stop trying until she destroys Julian's alter ego, Citadel. Julian should have taken her new powers from her when he had the chance, but he let her go in favor of a new plan: training her for a real fight. It's the only way to prove he didn't get lucky when he killed Storm Warning, and show the city--and the other villains--that he's a force to be reckoned with. Getting close to Charlotte comes with far more than Julian bargained for. She's the perfect hero. Determined, confident, and selfless above all else. She's even nice to him, of all people. But if Julian doesn't follow through with his plan despite his growing feelings for her, he has another force to reckon with: Blazar, the villain who raised him and taught him to use his powers. It seems that no matter what choice Julian makes, he's going to lose. And it's not just his life in danger. With its biggest hero gone, the fate of the city of New Atlas hangs in the balance. *ANTIHEROES GALORE Badass Author Feature*

Not the best friend who became her first kiss... her first love... her everything. But when he moved across the world, he left her with nothing but a broken promise and a gold star necklace she still wears like a scar. She swore she'd wait. He swore they'd find each other again.

Miraculous Generation: The Awakening
It's been nearly two decades since the world last saw Ladybug and Cat Noir swing across the rooftops of Paris. Crime has dwindled, villains are a distant memory, and the Miraculous-magical jewels once wielded by teenage heroes-have faded into forgotten history. To the world, they were legends. To their children, they're just Mom and Dad. Emma Agreste, bold, headstrong, and always seeking adventure, feels trapped in the quiet life her parents have built. Her twin brother, Louis, is her opposite-thoughtful, cautious, and more comfortable behind a book than in the spotlight. Their younger brother, Hugo, is curious to a fault, with a knack for sneaking into places he shouldn't and asking questions no one wants to answer. But the Agreste siblings' peaceful life begins to fracture the day Emma discovers a strange pair of earrings hidden inside a locked drawer in their mother's studio-earrings that seem to shimmer with something more than just memory. At the same time, Hugo uncovers a cryptic book buried deep in the attic, written in a language that responds to him. And Louis? He starts having dreams-visions, really-of someone calling out for help from the past. When a powerful new threat emerges in the shadows of Paris, hunting down what remains of the Miraculous magic, Emma, Louis, and Hugo are forced into a world their parents never wanted them to know. A world of ancient kwamis, secret guardians, and enemies who have waited too long to strike. As the truth about their family's legacy unravels, so does the fragile trust between them. Emma is eager to embrace her destiny. Louis wants nothing to do with it. And Hugo? He might be more connected to the rising danger than anyone realizes. With their city on the brink, and their bond tested like never before, the Agreste siblings must learn what it truly means to be heroes-not just for the sake of Paris, but for each other. Because the greatest battles aren't always fought in costume. Sometimes, they begin at home.Complete
