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

"I've never made wings before," Junie said from her spot on the floor. She was dragging a super sharp crafting knife along the lines in the cardboard she had drawn in the shape of a wing. 


Kian was sitting at her dining table, diligently cutting scraps of faux leather that they were going to use to make belts and other accessories. 


She looked up when he didn't answer and raised an eyebrow at the incredulous look he was giving her. "What?" 


"Sorry," he said, though he didn't sound at all apologetic. He smirked. "I was just in shock because I was certain that you could literally make anything." 


Junie blushed when she realized that he was serious. She set her knife down. "I can't make anything," she said modestly. 


"Uh-huh," he muttered doubtfully. "I watched your recent video of the cloaks you made. You're probably the only cosplayer to embroider that much by hand! And somehow make it look extremely neat and polished."
