Kaddy Chaak's career is in jeopardy, her social life is non-existent, and instead of spending the holidays at home with everyone she loves, she's in the hospital with her chronically-ill, probably-dying nephew Everett, wondering if her dead sister could have fixed this. The one bright note in an otherwise bleak winter is a potential visit from the Polar Terror, the only super villain north of the 66th parallel, to make little Everett's hospital wish come true.

Kaddy's not really expecting him to show. At best, she expects a lackluster cosplayer with a half-hour to spare.

But what she gets is a swoon-worthy stranger full of secrets, who might just sweep her off her feet--and maybe help her leave the past behind, once and for all.

A heart-warming stand-alone addition to the popular Heroes and Villains series.
