Akira Takahashi thought becoming a licensed hero would mean stopping villains—not getting captured by one.
When a late-night pursuit ends with Akira in the hands of Synapse, the brilliant fugitive the Agency warned him about, he expects blackmail, ransom, or worse. Instead, she offers him a truth the system buried: a corruption network inside New York’s hero-and-police apparatus, and a conspiracy known as the Meridian Protocol.
Valeria needs proof. She also needs Akira.
His Gift lets him amplify every sense beyond human limits. Hers can borrow another Gift through intimate synchronization. Together, they become a weapon neither of them planned for—one that can slip through guarded precincts, survive elite ambushes, and expose the people powerful enough to erase heroes.
But working with Valeria means staying close to her. Too close. She is brilliant, commanding, and far too good at discovering exactly how his own senses betray him. Every mission deepens the bond. Every exchange blurs the line between necessity, trust, and surrender.
With the city hunting them and the conspiracy closing in, Akira must decide what kind of hero he wants to be—and whether the most dangerous woman he has ever met is the villain he was warned about, or the only person telling him the truth.
OVERSTIMULATED: Personal Battery to the Villainess is a dark, high-tension superhero fantasy thriller filled with morally gray intrigue, dangerous chemistry, and a heroine who always knows exactly how much pressure to apply.
Genre: Paranormal Romance
