Stronger Annie M Pasquinelli

Chris "the Cannonball" Cooper insists that he's no Superman - or even Bible Man, for that matter. But when Haley Hendricks witnesses the Oregon State University football star take down a terrorist with superheroic savvy, she won't be convinced otherwise. Soon, Haley realizes that Chris isn't the refined hero she thinks he is. With so much to learn from first aid to crisis negotiation - and despite their clashing theologies - she takes it upon herself to coach the fumbling Christian athlete with a knack for trouble into being the best superhero he can be. And not a minute too soon. The city of Corvallis, once considered the safest place in America, is experiencing a rising tide of violent crime. Using her law student skills, Haley unearths some curious connections between a local gang, a technology conglomerate, and an international espionage agency. The newly formed Team Cooper must work against the clock - and their midterms - to thwart a truculent plan to use the city as a launching party for the black market sale of superhuman serum. In the midst of battle, when her world crumbles around her, Haley must transcend her mundane philosophy if she is to grasp what she's really after: the truth.
