Mason: As the star of the hit sci-fi TV show Alex Salem, certain duties are expected of me. Go to conventions, meet the fans, say the catchphrase, smile for pictures. When one of those fans steals a piece of my costume and, later, a piece of my heart, my entire career is thrown into jeopardy. One night of fun isn’t enough—I’ll convince the sexy seamstress to give me more, even if it costs me everything.

Ellie: As the seamstress for a bustling convention like Steel City Comic Expo, I’ve seen my share of Alex Salem costumes. When I notice one with a patch out of place, it’s not only my duty to fix it, but to make it better than it was. Imagine my shock when I discover the patch doesn’t belong to just any cosplayer—it belongs to Alex Salem himself. Hot-as-sin TV actor Mason Hughes.

A steamy encounter in a hallway smolders into a night of one-and-done fun. Chance meetings like ours are meant to blaze fast and die out. But as hard as I try, I can’t get the man behind the costume out of my head—or my heart. Now, Mason’s vowing to quit the show for us to be together. Am I willing to let Alex Salem, the character, fade to nothing in order to keep the man himself?

A sci-fi heartthrob. A feisty seamstress. When a chance encounter in a busy convention hall brings these two together, it’ll take more than a handsy samurai, a meddling producer, and a disastrous press conference to keep them apart. This books features a happy ever after ending.
