Big City is supposedly the place where dreams come true. As someone just trying to live my life, I can tell you, it’s more like a recurring nightmare where dreams get c*ckblocked at every turn.

Especially if you’re a supervillain like me.

The irony is that I have zero powers, despite coming from purebred villain stock, but try telling that to Big City’s beloved hero, Captain Masculine.

This himbo is ruining my research, and if his firepower doesn’t kill me, the sight of him in Lycra surely will. Luckily—or unluckily, in my opinion—my bestie just signed me up for the Bangers dating app and found my perfect match.

If this isn’t the start of my villain arc, I don’t know what is.

It’s hard feeling like I have to wear a mask every day—that the only value I bring to the table is the sparkling image others have created for me.

Such is the life of being Captain Masculine, Big City’s greatest superhero. This is the existence I was destined for, and I will gladly defend this city against every threat to its people.

Except Doctor Antihero.

I’ve seen countless villains come and go, but something about Antihero intrigues me more than the usual hero-villain encounters should.

It’s because of him that I impulsively signed up for a dating app, hoping a meaningless fling with a local normie will help get my head back in the game. The truth is, what I really want is someone who sees me—the man behind the mask.

But that’s a luxury no superhero can afford.

There is something about superheroes. Comics, graphic novels, cartoons, movies, spicy as heck romance novels. You name it, I'm into it. 

Captain Masculine is Big City's beloved superhero. His favorite supervillain to fight is Dr. Antihero. Does he have a crush on him? Maybe. But he's a villain! Gross! And Captain Masculine is a hero. He can't be gay. Right? Well, he joins the dating app Bangers. He finds out. Heroes can definitely be gay!

Dr. Antihero just wants to minimize the carbon footprint of the stupid humans and supes in Big City. The oceans are filthy, the planet is burning, and then his stupid neighbor signs him up for a dating app! But Butch Hawthorne is the hot himbo of his dreams. So what could a date hurt? Absolutely nothing when Butch Hawthorne ends up being even hotter in person, and a surprise sub. 

When this book gets spicy, it is SPICY! And it doesn't take much time at all. I am not usually here for a Daddy, but Xander (Dr. Antihero) is definitely Daddy. Ultimately, this has everything I want out of a superhero story. HOT guys, super powers, saving the world, and making sure we all remember what actually makes someone a hero or a villain.
