Calling the Ball
Description
A vacation to the sunny, seaside, resort city of Durres, Albania puts some space between Henrick Kohler and his closeted ex, Klaus, giving him time to get his life back together. While there a chance run-in with superstar footballer, Valentino 'Tino' Alessi, sends Henrick running in the other direction. With no intention of being either another notch in someone's bedpost or their secret lover, he offers friendship but nothing more. He doesn't want to risk his heart with what he sees as just another Klaus, but with the added ability to ruin his life on a much more spectacular level.
Tino can't catch a break, even doing a nice thing for a fan lands him in hot water. When he's suspended until his latest mess is straightened out, Tino does the only thing he can think of-he goes holiday home hunting in his favorite resort town. Tino falls hard and fast for the blond Austrian who wants nothing to do with him romantically, but he accepts the offer of friendship when his efforts to woo Henrick get him nowhere.
Friendship is what they agree to, but both men realize there's just something there neither of them can deny. What will it take for them to overcome everything and realize there's no time like the present to grab on to what they want?

CL Mustafic is a born and bred American mid-westerner who mysteriously ended up living in one of those countries nobody can ever find on the map of Europe.

So now between shuttling kids back and forth from various activities, risking her life on the insanely narrow, busy streets of her new home town, she loses herself in her own made up world where love always wins.
