Unsung Villains

Publisher Marketing: Sarah Valentine always hoped her life would change, but she never expected things to turn around quite this fast. A few months ago she was in a dead-end job, was hopelessly single, and she played video games just to inject a little bit of excitement into her life. That all changed the day she met Nathan Hart-not just a great romantic match, but also someone offering Sarah a job that included all the adventure she could possibly want. Of course, the fact that Nate's job offer was with the infamous supervillain Doctor Oracle added to the thrill. Now a full-fledged member of Doctor Oracle's team, Sarah's added tons of new skills to her arsenal: from lock picking to hot-wiring a car to flying an airplane, she's learned things over the last few months that would put her old resume to shame. But now it's time for her to step up and tackle the final hurdle to becoming a true equal in Oracle's team: leading her own mission. Determined to do her best no matter what, Sarah will take on all the plotting and scheming for a job that gets more complicated at every turn, assisted by an unexpected new ally from the superhero side of the fence, Oracle's team of skilled professionals, and a boyfriend whose constant threats to buy an engagement ring just might be serious. And somehow, that last part is the thing that makes her the most nervous."
