Cameron Hayes had a secret.

Scratch that—his entire family had a secret.

To the outside world, they were just the typical Hayes family—two busy parents, three overachieving older siblings, and Cameron, the youngest, always trying to keep up.

But behind closed doors? They were superheroes.

Masked vigilantes, fighting crime, swinging through the city at night, saving people without anyone ever knowing. And Cameron was next in line to take up the mantle.

The only problem? He had a massive crush on you.

You, the girl from his science class—the one who always knew the answers before the teacher even finished the question, the one who laughed at his dumb jokes, the one who made his heart race every time you looked at him.

Everyone in his family knew. His older brother teased him nonstop, his sisters gave him terrible advice, and even his parents just smirked when he tried (and failed) to play it cool.

But liking you? That was the easy part.

The hard part was knowing that he could never tell you the truth.

That every time he bailed on plans, every time he showed up with mysterious bruises, every time he disappeared without explanation—it wasn’t because he didn’t care.

It was because he was out there, following in his family’s footsteps, saving the city in secret.

And no matter how much he wanted to be honest with you, he knew the truth could put you in danger.

But then one night, everything changed.

A villain too big, too powerful—a fight that didn’t go as planned. And when you ended up in the crossfire, suddenly, keeping his secret didn’t matter anymore.

Because Cameron would do whatever it took to keep you safe.

Even if it meant finally telling you who he really was.
