Mara Quinn can engineer sugar into anything-except enough money to keep her candy shop safe. Nolan Vance can secure almost any system-except the careful distance he has maintained from the woman next door.
When a viral superhero comic gives Mara the crowd she desperately needs, she and Nolan turn two neighboring shops into Cape & Candy Night: part tasting event, part game convention, and an irresistible excuse to stop pretending they don't want each other. Their chemistry is combustible. Their private experiments are explicit. And every boundary is negotiated.
Then someone tests the locks.
A priceless comic collection, copied credentials, and a charming collector with predatory intentions turn their playful collaboration into a real security threat. Nolan knows how to take control. Mara knows exactly why he cannot-not without asking.
To protect their businesses, their friends, and the trust growing between them, they'll have to pull off something harder than catching a thief: sharing power when everything they care about is on the line.
Capes, Candy, and Control is the Book Zero prequel to Heart, Heat, and Heroes: a spicy neighbors-to-lovers romance set in the superhero city of New Vegas, with sharp banter, consensual dominance and submission, and a complete happily-ever-after for Mara and Nolan.
