steadily, through late-night conversations and an ever-growing

Jenna Ray has been cast as the Love Interest.
No. Not happening. Not if Jenna has anything to say about it (even if
Blaze is actually quite sweet and cute).
But her plans to defy the HPA (the Heroics and Power Authority) and
turn down this new role are thwarted when the Villains begin to take an
interest in her and offer a life-changing proposition; become Blaze's
Love Interest, while avoiding catching feelings for him, to uncover the
HPA's secret plans and find her missing mum.
To make matters even more complicated, just as Jenna starts to embrace
her new-found career, she discovers she might be more on the side of
the superheroes than she ever imagined .
