Why Read This?The one-sentence sell. What do you get for showing up to this book, even when it's hard?

Elizabeth Stephens takes a superhero world, throws in alien biology with omegaverse-adjacent mechanics, and wraps it in a fake dating romcom that goes completely feral. Roland/Pyro as the grumpy monster who falls HARD and FAST is peak book boyfriend material. Light on angst, heavy on fun.
