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 secure her admission to her dream college.But Maddie's nickname is "e;CalaMaddie"e; 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 "e;pleasant and friendly"e; content for social media, she also learns he's thoughtful, multi-talented, and fiercely loyal-maybe even to a fault.
