Making It Happen (Don't Read in the Closet Events)
S.J. Eller

Liam Johnson, on the other hand, is anything but a farm-boy. He’s got big dreams and the drive to make them all come true. He also has a reason to stay in his small town and settle for a local college. But Garrett’s not about to be the reason that Liam doesn’t achieve all his dreams. For once in his life, he decides to listen to those romantic notions— let Liam go and hope for the best.
But as Garrett finds out, life isn’t anything like a romance novel, and sometimes you have to make things happen.
