“Now that artist Bailey is finally healthy for the first time in forever, she’s living life to the full. First on her wishlist is skiing in the Rockies – at least it will be if she can get down the mountain in one piece …

Luckily, a ski patrolling Prince Charming comes to Bailey’s aid. Learning that her mysterious rescuer, Hudson Kincaid, is also the subject of the mural she’s been commissioned to paint in Cedar Ridge, Bailey is intrigued.

As she uncovers the real man behind Hudson’s strong, silent façade, Bailey begins to realise that the life of adventure she has always dreamed of could be closer to home than she ever imagined.”

“When geek girl Elle Wittimer sees a cosplay contest sponsored by the producers of Starfield, she has to enter. First prize is an invitation to the ExcelsiCon Cosplay Ball and a meet-and-greet with the actor slated to play Federation Prince Carmindor in the reboot. Elle’s been scraping together tips from her gig at the Magic Pumpkin food truck behind her stepmother’s back, and winning this contest could be her ticket out once and for all – not to mention a fangirl’s dream come true.

Teen actor Darien Freeman is less than trilled about the year’s ExcelsiCon. He used to live for conventions, but now they’re nothing but jaw-aching photo sessions and awkward meet-and-greets.

As ExcelsiCon draws near, closet nerd Darien feels more an more like a fake – until he meets a girl who shows him otherwise.”
