War of Hearts (Colby Madden)
Wren's life sucks. Her parents despised each other, and she grew up in a war zone. When she was ten, her father left, fed up with her narcissistic, hero mother, known as Monarch. Left behind, Wren was forced into the hero's life, battling villains twice her age. When her mother stays in Centropolis, which is most of the time, Wren has to live with her father's old friend, Celia. She feels utterly alone, except for Celia's granddaughter, Hartly. Don't get her wrong-she loves Hartly, but they have nothing in common. When a new family moves into Celia's rental house, Wren sees a glimmer of hope. That is, until she meets their youngest son, who despises her solely because she's a hero. It's a shame really, because she thought he was kinda cute. It doesn't matter, anyway; after witnessing her parents' disastrous relationship, Wren doesn't believe in love and if it is real, she wants to stay as far away from it as possible. But maybe a little harmless flirting won't hurt, right? After all, villains do look cute when they're flustered.
