A Shot at the Big Time — Christina McMullen

Lisa Raskin is a woman with big aspirations. Sure, there are worse things than being the second in command to Maxima City's one and only female supervillain and Lisa knows she has a pretty sweet gig. But no one ever dreams of being second banana, so when she's given the opportunity to join the Coalition of Evil, Maxima City's who's-who of A-lister Malevolents, Lisa jumps at the chance. Especially since this means she can finally have her revenge against Magnificent Man, the hero responsible for the tragedy that turned her to the dark side. But becoming a household name isn't all evil plans and underground lairs. There are hoops to jump through, brand consultation meetings, damages to pay for, and diva costume designers to deal with. Worst of all, Magnificent Man has made himself scarcer than pockets on women's clothing. Add in an antagonistic ex, a clueless rival, and a taxing day job, and it's no wonder this ice talent is about to lose her cool.
