L. Burke Bouncing Back by Amber Gabriel Being a supervillain is easy. Being a hero has costs. When Elam Bentley, formerly known as the infamous supervillain Rubber Bandit, agreed to enter the Supervillain Rehabilitation Project to train to be a hero, he didn't realize the sacrifices he'd have to make. Faced with teammates who don't trust him, former villains who see him as a traitor, and the prospect of making restitution for his past misdeeds, Elam doubts he has the ability to stick to the hero path. Knowing that his team leader, stressed-out single mom Rightcross, has put everything on the line to back his rehabilitation, raises the stakes even higher. He can't let her down. An investigation of slot machine manipulation leads to a tangled conspiracy ... and to someone targeting Rightcross and her team. Elam might be new to the hero world, but he knows how to think like a villain. He might just be the key to unraveling the mystery and keeping herself and her daughter safe—if only he can keep himself from falling for her in the process.
