LOOSE CORSET EXCERPT
By Christine Rains

Geek girl problem #31: Your flat-chested best friend is a cosplayer who tries to fit you into her costumes when you’re built like Rose Tyler from Doctor Who.

Geek girl Morgan Reid has been to many conventions, but none that had her wishing it would never end.

Dressed as their characters from the online game Steampunk Quest, Morgan and her best friend meet the other players for the first time in real life. Morgan’s attraction to the gorgeous Dean Bradley is immediate, making it difficult to breathe in her tight corset. Even after a few dice shattering orgasms, she doesn’t believe this can be anything more than a con fling. But Dean is making her feel things she’s only read about in books. Can Morgan let go of her cool-headed logic and allow herself to fall completely for the perfect geek guy?
