About the Book

When American actor Patrick arrives in England, finding love is the last thing on his mind. Starring in a blockbuster superhero movie, he’s on a strict filming schedule, which does not include coming out as gay. But when Patrick meets Will – a local bookseller and drag performer, whose charm is impossible to resist – the temptation for a secret romance has never felt stronger. NEW YORK, 1949. Comic-book artists Charles and Iris aren’t like other married couples. They too are harbouring secrets of a dangerous nature. But together, they are creating a new kind of hero – one who is destined to bring Patrick and Will together… and might just change the world. *** Super fans of We Could Be Heroes say: ‘I ADORED it.

Review :
‘I really enjoyed We Could Be Heroes – it was the kind of peppy, smart and fun romantic comedy that, like all the best romcoms, has something important to say about the way we live our lives…Oh and it was quite horny, wasn't it?!’ JUSTIN MYERS ‘What an adventure! We Could Be Heroes is a triumphant gay love story that’s wise, witty, and chock full of engaging characters.' BYRON LANE ‘Like all the best superheroes – and drag queens – We Could Be Heroes is an outrageously fun time with a beautifully human heart beating behind the costume…swoon-worthy chemistry, pitch-perfect humour, and a poignant dash of history woven seamlessly into the ultra-modern narrative.’ NICOLAS DIDOMIZIO ‘It’s a bird! It’s a plane! No, it’s a fiercely electric romance that I couldn’t put down’ TIMOTHY JANOVSKY ‘We Could Be Heroes is a total delight. I adored Patrick, Will, and the entire cast of characters’ CAT SEBASTIAN ‘Comforting and scintillating all at once, We Could Be Heroes is a joyful romance that had me laughing, crying, and rooting for these heroes’ ASHLEY HERRING BLAKE ‘Political, passionate, funny and romantic’ GABBY HUTCHINSON CROUCH 'This is one of those everything books: You laugh, you cry.' THE NEW YORK TIMES ‘You'll be hard-pressed to find a better romance novel’ BUZZFEED *7 SIZZLING ROMANCE NOVELS YOU HAVE TO READ THIS SPRING* ‘Funny and fast-paced…Ellis brings both wit and empathy to bear throughout and crafts characters readers will root for.
