description:  What happens when one experimental night in college turns into years of regret about opportunities lost?   Best friends and college roommates, Dev Bandi and Elliot Gates spent most of their time together in college hanging out, drinking, and being teammates in their NCAA soccer team. But before they parted ways, they spent one experimental night together, becoming more than just friends.  Now, just a few years later, out and proud Dev is a promising young director who is asked to do a feature on his old soccer coach and mentor, a man he greatly admired. The only thing is, taking the job would mean interviewing many of his old teammates – including the now professional player, Elliot Gates. It’s been years since they last spoke, but that doesn’t mean he’d forgotten his former best friend. Or their steamy time together.  Elliot is living in London, playing for the Spurs, when he gets a surprising email from Dev asking him to participate in the documentary. Despite how long it’s been since they’d spoken, he certainly hasn’t forgotten about his handsome college friend, either. Still, Elliot lives with his girlfriend Jemma now, and isn’t sure meeting Dev again would be such a good idea.  But the memory of their final encounter has never left his head, and remembering it now is bringing some of his old feelings back to the surface. Could it be that Elliot had run from something for all the wrong reasons, and chosen a path in his life that has kept him from true happiness?  It might be time to find out.  More Than the Ball is a stand-alone gay romance novel and ends happily ever after, with no cliffhanger.
