From Stealing Home author Becky Wallace comes a Devil Wears
Prada-inspired YA romance, in which "normal girl" Maddie must repair
the image of Major League Soccer's bad boy to ace her internship. A
perfect read for fans of Morgan Matson and Miranda Kenneally.
Maddie McPherson is sick of Normal--both her hometown of Normal,
Illinois and being the 'normal' sibling. But when she lands a summer
internship with a sports marketing firm, she finally has a chance to
crawl out of her genius brother's shadow. Not to mention, a glowing
letter of recommendation could secure her admission to her dream
college.
But Maddie's nickname is "CalaMaddie" for a reason, and when the company
tasks her with repairing the image of teen soccer phenom Gabriel
Fortunato, she wonders if she's set herself up for embarrassment.
Gabriel is a tabloid magnet, who's best-known for flubbing Italy's World
Cup hopes. As Maddie works with him to develop "pleasant and friendly"
content for social media, she also learns he's thoughtful,
multi-talented, and fiercely loyal--maybe even to a fault. Falling for a
footballer is exactly how CalaMaddie would botch this internship, but
with the firm pressuring her to get the job done, perhaps her heart is
worth risking?
