But when Raffy is forced to partner with Luca on his most ambitious build yet, he'll have to juggle unresolved feelings for the boy who broke his heart, and his own intense self-doubt, to get everything he's ever wanted: choosing his art, his way.

Now, Raffy is after the perfect comeback, one that Luca can't ruin. But Luca's insecurities and Raffy's insistence on crafting perfection caused their relationship to crash and burn. They almost made the perfect team last year after serendipitously meeting in the rhinestone aisle at the local craft store-or at least Raffy thought they did. There's only one small problem… Raffy's ex-boyfriend, Luca, is his main competition. If he can wow there, it could lead to sponsorship, then art school, and finally earning real respect for his work.

He's always chosen his art over everything-and everyone- else and is determined to make his mark at this year's biggest cosplay competition. Not just bedazzling, but sewing, stitching, draping, pattern making-for creation. Project Runway goes to Comic Con in an epic queer love story from the author of Reverie about creativity, passion, and finding the courage to be your most authentic self.
