No! Jocks Don't Date Guys

What is a sexy soccer stud supposed to do when "following family tradition" falls 180 degrees opposite his closeted ideal?

From birth, Chris Jackson has been schooled on how to land a cheerleader. After all, his father married one, and his father's father before him. Heck, even his older brother married a stereotypical cheerleader the summer before Chris went off to college. For two years, Chris dodges invasive questions about relationships by blaming his lack of female companionship on grueling practices and heavy course loads. But his lack of interest in girls should've given his family a clue. It isn't until Chris mentions meeting a boy that his father's synapses short-circuit.

Alonzo Martin is anything but a buxom blond. From his black hair, combat boots, and trench coat to his nail polish and guyliner, the mysterious introvert isn't easily persuaded to date. Alonzo's insecurities keep Chris at arm's length, but Alonzo's painful past might meet its match in the charismatic jock's winning smile and sense of humor.

When opposites attract, only cheerleaders and gummy bears can help overcome fear and family tradition.
