Echo

Siobhan is a logistics manager whose career has just imploded. Desperate for rent money, she accepts a last-minute modelling gig at a comic convention - three thousand pounds for a weekend in a sci-fi costume. The catch? The costume is a full-body airbrush paint job. And the character, a naked android assassin, requires her to be completely bare. The FX artist is Gavin - her old university crush, the one who got away.
He is professional, precise, and fighting a desperate battle to keep his hands steady as he shaves, primes, and airbrushes every inch of her body. They try for professionalism. Just the work. But when the convention crowd mistakes her for the actual Hollywood actress, the internet explodes. Paparazzi swarm, studio executives circle, and Siobhan is thrust into a surreal world of viral fame and corporate opportunity.
The only anchor is Gavin, kneeling between her thighs with an airbrush, his own desire straining against his denim. Echo is a slow-burn contemporary romance about masks, armour, and the terrifying freedom of being truly seen. Expect explicit consent, immersive sensory detail, a sharp critique of corporate body-shaming, and a love story that begins with a paintbrush. Includes: Neurodivergent-friendly themes (sensory processing, masking), explicit verbal and non-verbal consent, body positivity, and a happy ending that celebrates the choice to be seen.
