Ain’t Happenin’ by Shandi Boyes

Lorenzo Ricci is a big-shot footballer known for his talents both on and off the field. In his hometown of Milan, he’s the divinity of all men. Women want to be bedded by him, men want to be him.
However, during his one-off visit to the land of the free, he can’t even get final-year college student Skylar Maine to talk to him. She has dreams in the works—dreams that don’t include a height-restricted Italian who wrongly believes football is played with a round ball.
With Skylar’s wish to find an altitude-breathing mate on the forefront of her mind, Lorenzo will face more than a red-card to secure her attention. If his record-breaking deal, newly acquired gay best-friend, and smoking-hot accent don’t free him from the penalty box, he’s certain a big hairy bear named Percy will.
