We Could Be Heroes (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9780593542491)

Not all heroes wear capes. Some wear high heels and a wig.

Patrick's acting career is on the rise, and the superhero movie he's filming might put him on the map . . . if the endless reshoots ever stop. Meanwhile, Will, a secondhand bookseller and part-time drag queen, is just trying to live his best life. After a chance encounter on a particularly chaotic night, a curious friendship sparks between the two men.

At least, that's what they tell each other. Sure, Patrick finds Will captivatingly hilarious, and Will can't help but keep thinking about who is really behind the perfect mask Patrick shows the rest of the world, but nothing could ever really happen, right? Superheroes don't date drag queens, after all.

When reality crashes into the fantasy world they've built together, Will has to make a choice between the man of his dreams and being true to himself. Can Patrick be the hero Will's been waiting for, or will Will be the one to save Patrick after all? Uproarious and touching, We Could Be Heroes is an ode to queer joy and a romance that just might save the world.
