Out of Character

He broke Jasper's heart once. Now he's asking for help-and maybe a second chance. Out of Character is a swoony, geek-filled LGBTQ+ romance where ex-best-friends turn cosplay allies?and maybe more. When former jock Milo Lionetti needs help reclaiming rare gaming cards he lost in a bet, he turns to the one person he hoped never to face again: former friend and crush Jasper Quigley. But their shared history-and unresolved feelings-refuse to stay in the past. From cosplay conventions to hospital charity balls, Jasper and Milo's journey is a geeky, tender slow-burn love story about vulnerability, forgiveness, and rediscovering what it means to truly belong. Perfect for fans of Red, White & Royal Blue, dive into a queer romance brimming with fandom joy, second chances, and emotional honesty. Praise for Annabeth Albert: "Fast, funny, and fantastic.
