Hi everyone –
I’m continuing with another teaser from Book 3 in the Australian Sports Romance Series – Entangled Moments.
Enjoy ♥♥
This week’s Hook …
“You should’ve asked Oliver to say something.” Suddenly, recalling part of the earlier conversation, she tilted her head to look up at his face. “What did you mean you don’t have to pretend?”
The silence stretching between them was tangible.
“Sarah?”
She gave a slow nod. “Uh-huh.”
“You know this is not right.”
And, yet, he didn’t step away from her or even leave. Why? Was he just as tempted as she was, but his common sense was still switched on?
She shook her head, and ignored his words, leaning into him again for another kiss. To her surprise, this time he slid his hands up her arms to cup her face. Closing her eyes, she enjoyed the touch of his lips. Until …
“You sure this is what you want?” he whispered against her lips.
As words failed her, she gave him a slow nod. It was everything she wanted tonight. Tomorrow would be another day, and she’d deal with it then. This was today and today she wanted to feel.
Wanted to touch.
And wanted to be loved.
She had no doubt whatsoever that Markus wouldn’t hurt her. “Yes, I’m sure.”
“I’ll ruin you for all other men to come,” he replied against her skin. “You sure you want to make that sacrifice?”
Blurb:
Markus and Sarah’s lives couldn’t be more different…
After three years away as a goalkeeper for an English soccer club, Markus DeLeon is happy to be back in Melbourne, back with his family and friends, including Sarah. He has known her since childhood, and has often provided her with a safe place from the teasing of other children and the troubles of a broken home. Yet, events after attending their friends’ wedding set off a shift in their relationship and questions, which neither Markus nor Sarah know how to approach.
Sarah Winter caught her boyfriend cheating on her, and not for the first time Markus offers her a much-needed shoulder to cry on. This time, however, an attraction between them intensifies, ending in a passionate afternoon, and Markus doesn’t know how to handle this new side of their friendship and flees to the coast. Sarah, unsure as well about the recent events, is surprised by his sudden departure, but is soon sidetracked by misunderstandings and a family emergency.
But sometimes risking what you have means you might lose everything…
Enjoyed the hook, Iris! 🙂
Thank you, Tina ♥
“I’ll ruin you for all other men to come,” – well, that is certainly bold. I have a feeling it will be true. 🙂
Bold, but in a caring, witty way. And I have a feeling you might be right 😉
“I’ll ruin you for all other men to come.” He’s a bit arrogant, isn’t he? Yet I do find this a romantic notion, somehow – that once you get together with your soulmate, everyone else is second best.
Not arrogant at all, he’s a lovely soul, who’s really trying to tell her in a subtle way she shouldn’t make decisions when feeling low. He doesn’t want to say no straight out and reject her when she’s been already rejeceted 24 hrs before.
It says a lot about his character that she trusts him so much.
Thank you, Kate 🙂
