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

Junie couldn't rip her eyes from her boyfriend's face. Kian looked so on edge, his lips tight and a defined tick in his jaw. He was also gripping her hand much more tightly now. 


"It's been forever, man!" Liam said once they stepped in front of the booth he was running. "I don't think I've seen you since high school." 


"It's been a while," Kian said, forcing his lips to tilt up even further. "How have you been, man?" 


Liam smirked a little and gestured down to the items on his table. "Oh, you know. Keeping busy, been going to a lot of cons." 


Junie finally looked away from Kian so she could smile at Liam and look at the merchandise he was selling. Her eyes rounded as she took in the colorful prints hanging on the panels above the table and the keychains, bookmarks, and other items in the same style that were laid out artfully on the wooden table.
