OFFICER
Nathan Pearce just wants to be a hero. So when a world-famous vigilante blows through his local Boston bar, he's determined to chase her down. If superheroes do internships, he wants one.

With a mad scientist on the loose and powerful enemies lurking in the wings, that's simply not an option.
TEAM
Together with their questionable crew, these would-be heroes must untangle the past to secure the future—or allow a dangerous new world order to rise.

Mary O'Sullivan makes her own rules now. Her first self-assigned mission? Track down the league retirees who killed her family, and enforce the long-overdue justice they deserve.

With her secret identity blown to shreds, she's beset by reporters and forced to seek unlikely allies. When her enemies turn the tables and start hunting her, Mary must face the darker side of heroism—or risk becoming their next victim. Follow Mary into the dark with the page-turning sequel to Alter Ego.

1
Mary O'Sullivan would rather throw punches than parties. But though her vigilante-league family can fly and support collapsing bridges on one shoulder, Mary's stuck with her wits, muscles, and a desperate need to prove herself. When the league uses her celebrity secret identity to infiltrate a gala, she takes the opportunity to flaunt her skills as an operative. Mary's decision to bend protocol results in the loss of a dangerous artifact — one that could grant her the power she lacks. Sidelined by the league for going rogue, she pursues the power-granting stone without backup. But she's not the only one looking for the artifact. If she can't secure it, superpowers will be available to the highest bidder — and the league's anonymity could become a thing of the past. Power Struggle is a stand-alone prequel to the League of Independent Operatives series.

Mary O'Sullivan no longer trusts her instincts. Her secret identity is blown, the league is under official scrutiny, and LIO's retirees are now their sworn enemies--all because of her reckless decisions. When mysterious strangers steal the league's most powerful asset, Mary adds one more defeat to her roster by failing to prevent their escape. Afraid of making another devastating mistake, she refuses to join the mission to track down the thieves, instead sticking to the relative safety of HQ. If that means occasionally encountering her ex in the halls, well, she's punched Nathan Pearce before. She's not afraid to do it again. But the mission goes awry when LIO's government liaison turns against them, and only Mary and Nathan remain free. With her friends in dire need and a powerful new foe lurking just out of sight, Mary must face her own demons before she can hope to defeat her enemies--and save the people she loves.

When Mary helps an enhanced teenager to escape across the border, she uncovers a huge community of people trapped in hiding. With even greater threats lurking among the stars, she must usher them to safety before the EAEA finds them first…

But saving the world isn't a solo business, and Mary -- along with the whole league -- will need to let go of her past grudges if she wants to rescue the future. Defender is the concluding volume in the League of Independent Operatives superhero saga.
