Fouled in Open Play - Paperback

by Patrick Voss (Author)

It was supposed to be his redemption story when Caleb Thomas transferred to Southeastern State University. The talented yet closeted soccer player craved a fresh start after a tumultuous year, one he desperately wants to put behind him. After recovering from a leg break the previous summer, his outstanding performances transformed the conference bottom-feeder into a championship contender, bringing him closer to his dream of becoming a professional soccer player. His goal is in play until a surprise vinyl has him spinning out of bounds.

Caleb struggles to move past his breakup with Javi, whose best-selling album spills the secrets of their relationship. He tries to navigate a complicated relationship with a digital love interest, but underestimates its challenges in a homophobic college town. Even with every hidden conflict rising to the surface, Caleb's stardom skyrockets, but secrets and betrayals threaten to derail his dream. It forces Caleb to confront his past and fight for his future, or risk missing his shot at his dream he promised to make a reality.
