Brenda is a second-rate superhero, normally more concerned with uniform fashion than defeating bad guys. But when a violent, new super villain declares war against her city, she suddenly finds her specialized power to deafen sound in high demand.Tiffany Allee

As if facing the destructive force of a new enemy isn’t bad enough, she finds herself paired with the powerful, yet emotionally distant, Justice. Forced to work at the side of the only man who gets her heart pounding, Brenda is not only in danger of losing her life in battle, but also her heart to a man who might not be able to love her back.
EXCERPT:
“You think only some superheroes are
real?” he asked, shock rushing through him.
“Justice,” she said, after glancing around
to make sure they were alone. “There is a difference between real superheroes
like you who have the power to save people from villains on a regular basis and
people like me. My powers, such as they are, don’t make me any different from
Maria and other normal people. Yours do.”
“You think it’s the powers that separate
us?” Before he realized what he was doing, he was up from his chair and
standing only inches from her. Her face was turned away, and she had to look at him so he could make her
understand. He touched her soft skin with his fingertips, tipping her chin up.
A scowl cut across her full mouth at his touch, but she didn’t move away.
“Isn’t it?” Her voice was soft, caressing.
It took a moment for him to remember what
they were talking about.
“It’s not our powers that separate us—make
us heroes. Yes, us,” he added as she started to shake her head. “It’s the
willingness to put on the uniform. To face things that might be stronger than
ourselves in order to save other people. And the lack of power you’re talking
about?” Her skin brushed against his as he leaned in to whisper. “That lack of
power is what makes you a real superhero, Brenda, because you’re willing to
fight in spite of that fact.”
She turned her head, mouth parted to argue
with him, to deny what he could so clearly see. Bringing his face down inches
from hers, he grazed her jawline with his knuckles. She swayed toward him, gaze
fixed on his mouth. She licked her lips, and the last bit of control he’d clung
to broke.
Her lips were soft—so soft—and after a
moment’s hesitation she kissed him back with a zeal he hadn’t expected. The sweet
smell of strawberries filled his nose, and it occurred to him on some level
that the intoxicating scent was probably her shampoo. He reached for her,
touching her back with his hand, needing to get closer, to feel her body on
his. She pressed against him eagerly, and her mouth opened. Soft and wet, her
tongue caressed his.
Suddenly he couldn’t think about anything
but her. The way she’d filled out her tight, little uniform. And the sexy
confidence she donned with her conservative blouse and slacks. He hardened
painfully in his uniform, and she moaned. The small sound made every muscle in
his body tighten. He didn’t care that they were practically in public. He had
to have her. Now.
