β¦ Synopsis
When your average, run-of-the-mill retired superhero Latin teacher meets an angel on the underground, itβs not only runaway trains that spark.
Christian Winter used to save the world. In World War II, when good and bad was a simple matter of whose side you were on, life had seemed so much simpler. Back then it was easy for a superman to see the troops safely home. Back then it was easy to be Mithras.
Long since retired to teach Latin in a London school, the man who used to be Mithras wants nothing more than a cup of tea and a quiet life. All that changes thanks to a runaway train and a red-headed Scottish angel on the Northern Line whose eyes are bluer than a summer sky, and who just happens to have a thing for chaps in tweed.
Swept along by Freddy Roseβs passion and enthusiasm, Christianβs efforts to resist the Scottish angelβs attractions arenβt exactly heartfelt, but can the passionate angel and an encounter with a very important lady tempt Mithras back to a life of adventure?
Publisher's Note: This book has previously been released as part of the I Need A Hero anthology by Pride Publishing.
