Checkmate Ever After — Lex Chase

Checkmate: Books One through Four The day disgraced superhero Memphis Rook literally fell into Hogarth Dawson's lap, you could say it was fate. But the brawny Rook did nearly crush Garth's pancreas. What started as two ships passing in the night ended on the weirdest adventure of their lives. Together, Rook and Garth form Checkmate, a daring super duo that keeps Axis City safe from a rogue's gallery of nefarious villains, dastardly masterminds, and a coalition of calamity. Fighting evil wherever it appears -- from reality shows to comic book conventions -- Checkmate serves up knuckle sandwiches of justice. But by day, they're a couple of broke losers who can barely afford a burger and navigating a weird thing called a relationship. Ain't true love grand? Rook and Garth may be in over their heads, and even superheroes fail sometimes, but they're ready to take a stand when no one else will. Don't hate the players, because Checkmate owns the game.
