The heroes are royal. They have superpowers. And they happen to be LGBTQ+.
Royal Powers is a shared-universe romance series created by a group of authors and led by EJ Russell, who opened it with Duking It Out. Each book is a standalone with its own royal, its own power, and its own happily-ever-after, with Easter eggs hidden for readers who follow the whole series. Chris Cox wrote two of them — a fairytale action-adventure and a Christmas romance whose title is a wink at a certain carol.

Pauper Prince Saves the Posh Pullet
Rescue a Chicken. Save a Vineyard. Claim One True Love.
Prince Petre of Ezer is certain that whatever choice he makes, he’ll screw it up. When Honorable Mickey Zubiri calls on Prince Pete to help rescue shape-shifting Baron Zubiri from chickennappers hoping for golden eggs, Pete answers the call, endangering his vineyard. Using his superpower of turning back time, does Prince Pete make any of the risky situations better or worse? If Pete and Mickey fail, what does the future hold for them?
No chickens, geese or vineyards were harmed in the writing of this story. Contains sensuous, but not explicit love scenes. Bisexual/gender-fluid superhero romance of 38,000 very action-packed and adventurous words. A standalone fairytale with hidden Easter eggs in the Royal Powers series. Also, a message for all of us raised with narcissistic parents: you are not alone.
