Junie is a shy cosplayer and content creator who finds it difficult to allow others to get close to her. She finds that posting videos online about making costumes fills the void caused by her loneliness.
During a convention, she meets Kian, a fellow cosplayer and content creator who is determined to pull Junie out of her shell. Although the connection she and Kian share is electric, Junie finds herself retreating to her reclusive ways. But Kian is determined to be with her.

“You frustrate me so much,” Kian grumbled, his hand slipping through Junie’s hair as he held her close.
“That’s my line,” she mumbled, sliding her hands around Kian’s sides to rest them on his back. “You’re the one who refuses to listen.”
He quirked a thick eyebrow down at her. “And yet, you’re still here.” 
She wasn’t sure if she wanted to throttle the man or kiss him. “You’re here. Where else would I be?”

Quit Cosplaying with My Heart

Despite the tiny voice in her head, Junie pushed all thoughts of her brother out of her head. She had other things to worry about anyway. With Kami-Con just a few months away, Junie and Kian decided to get started on their cosplays. Kian had the day off, so the two were working at his apartment. Junie had brought all her supplies and had them strewn all over the floor of Kian’s small living room. It was larger than hers, but it still looked as if a tornado had blown through the room. 


They stood side by side, staring down at the foam boards, glue guns, cardboard, and paints. Junie had been cosplaying for a few years and had managed to collect quite a few gadgets, including various knives, a power sander, a jigsaw, and other dangerous tools. By the time the two unloaded all of Junie’s stuff, Kian’s apartment looked like a workshop, or a torture chamber depending on the point of view.
