Troy Ashton is not gay! He thought his life was all mapped out for him -- he’d get his sotan cape after he turned eighteen, be paired with his female life mate, and be gifted with his superpowers. However, the Council for Sotan Affairs has other plans for Troy. They selected him to be a tuohygan -- the only one of his generation -- and they’ve paired him with a male omega. Troy likes the idea of being a tuohygan: they’re faster, stronger, and have a greater range of superpowers than sotans. Plus he gets to prefix his name with Super. But ... he isn’t gay! So no thank you. The pain of remaining unbonded from his omega is intense, but Troy is determined he won’t give in and marry another man. That is until his and Beck Dolan’s paths cross. Troy literally flies to the rescue when he sees a man falling into a lake. There’s something about him that calls to Troy’s inborn need to protect. Just being around Beck eases something inside of Troy, centering and calming him. Could Troy be not as straight as he thought? Coming out is traumatic. Mostly because Troy’s family already knew or strongly suspected he was gay. He doesn’t understand how they could know but he didn’t. He’s a jock -- captain of both his high school and college football teams, doesn’t that mean he’s straight? He also experiences a few growing pains with his newfound powers, the most visible of which are the dents in Beck’s trashcan when he misjudges his landings when he flies in to rescue his man. Troy soon adapts to his role as both tuohygan and husband. However, Troy grows concerned when Beck starts getting sick to his stomach in the mornings, and what’s with the sudden craving for fish, the smellier the better? Life as SuperTroy is certainly more adventurous than he could ever have imagined.

The Adventures of SuperTroy

“Good, that’s decided then.” She’d nodded in satisfaction.


“Mom!” Troy had tried to interject, but his mother hadn’t been listening.


“I know you can’t exactly be matron of honor, although you’ll be the mother of one of the grooms,” Beck had said, and Troy’s mom had stopped talking to listen. “Although I’ll invite my parents, I know they won’t come, so it’d mean a lot to me if you’d walk me down the aisle.”


That had rendered Troy’s mom speechless. If Troy hadn’t loved Beck before that moment, he sure did after that. And judging by how tightly his mom had hugged Beck, she loved him, too.


The senior councilman clearing his throat brought Troy back to the present. “Are you both ready to proceed?”


Troy swallowed. Was he ready? Despite having had several months to get used to the idea of marriage and taking on his tuohygan responsibilities, Troy still wasn’t totally sure if he was good enough or strong enough to be what everyone expected of him.
