The Boy Behind the Mask

ELena has always preferred fictional heroes.

The ones hidden between the pages of her books are safe. Predictable. They save the girl, defeat the villain, and always get their happily ever after.

She never expected to fall for one in real life.

Ethan seems like an ordinary boy. He's charming, protective, frustratingly secretive, and somehow always covered in bruises he refuses to explain. The closer Lena gets to him, the more she realizes there's a part of his life he's determined to keep hidden.

Because Ethan isn't ordinary.

Ethan is Spider-Man.

Behind the mask, he spends his nights swinging across the city, chasing criminals and putting himself in danger to protect people who may never know his real name.

And ELena has no idea.

As their friendship turns into something neither of them can ignore, Ethan struggles to balance the boy he wants to be with the hero the city needs him to be. Every missed call, sudden disappearance, and poorly explained injury brings Lena closer to discovering the truth.

But being Spider-Man comes with enemies.

And the closer ELena gets to the boy behind the mask, the more dangerous loving her becomes.

Ethan has spent so long protecting his identity to keep the people he loves safe.

But some secrets can't stay hidden forever.

She fell for Ethan.
She admired Spider-Man.
She just never knew they were the same boy.
