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, you were amazing in there!” 


Junie hid her face against Kian’s shoulder, not quite able to get the last couple of hours out of her mind. The two were walking hand in hand through the large convention exhibition hall. The long hall was probably the length of a football field and was filled with vendors selling cosplay tools and accessories as well as merchandise from different shows and video games. 


“I really wasn’t,” Junie argued as they walked. She paused briefly at a booth selling cat plushies. One round, squishy-looking one resembled Kiara. She pursed her lips and gravitated toward it. She picked it up and hugged it tightly. It was about the size of a watermelon and was insanely soft. 


“That one’s forty bucks!” said a twenty-something-year-old girl with short blue hair. She waggled her eyebrows at Kian. 


Kian chuckled and pulled out his wallet from one of the pouches on his belt. He handed the girl some money.
