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

"Thanks for agreeing to do this with me, Cal."


"Why wouldn't I agree to do this?" Callie basically demanded as she added another pin to Junie's hair. "I've been wanting to go to a ball with Micah forever! He's gotta learn to be a little more romantic." 


Junie laughed. "It's not really a ball," she said, resisting the urge to roll her eyes since Callie would definitely see that in the vanity mirror she was facing. 


Callie's hands froze in Junie's hair, her thin eyebrows furrowing in confusion. "Didn't you call it a ball?" she asked. 


"But there's gonna be food, and dancing and people in fancy dresses," Callie said. "That's basically a ball. Look at the dresses you made us! We look like princesses!" 


Junie stood up from the vanity in Callie's room, staring down at the gown she made. She never made anything this extravagant. This was her first time attempting a ballgown and she had to admit that she did pretty well.
