    About this ebook

    Eric attends a Scottish Country Dance class with his friend Amara to help her hook up with her crush-of-the-month. But the computer science grad student abandons his wingman duties when he finds himself interested in their dance instructor, Rob. 

    Eric swears that's not just about how great Rob's legs look in a kilt. Soon he's scoping out Rob's Facebook page and following him to the local Highland Games in hopes of scoring a date.

    Previously published by Torquere Press as part of the Plaid Nights anthology, July 2015.
