Love Games — Eden Scott

Technology-challenged historian Regis is on a mission of mercy: his miserably pregnant cousin, Penny, needs a diversion and the only thing that will satisfy is the latest version of a video game, Dead Knights at Castle Kill.

When Regis braves the aisles of a video game retailer, he's swept off his feet by Mars, the tall, dark, and gorgeous salesclerk who works there. But there's very little chance that such a savvy gamer would ever notice a man who can barely use his computer.

Deciding the obvious solution is to fake it, Regis enlists the aid of his cousin to convince Mars he's a high-level gamer. The plan works perfectly right up until Mars invites him to a prestigious gaming conference, where even Regis's high IQ isn't enough to fake his way through dozens of real gamers -- and will definitely cost him the man he's been lying to the whole time.
