"At first she doesn't interest him, the prim redheaded woman with the notebook. Then she annoys Gabe Kasper because he doesn't want to answer her questions about heroes--he knows he's not one. But Elizabeth Parks is determined to interview him for her thesis, so they strike up a deal: if she'll loosen up a little and spend a lot of time with him, he'll oblige her. As it turns out, Gabe finds out a lot about her along the way--and he likes it, regardless of the fact that she is absolutely, in no way his type."
