Hi everyone –
I’m continuing with another teaser from Book 3 in the Australian Sports Romance Series – Entangled Moments.
Enjoy ♥♥
This week’s Hook …
“Wouldn’t say,” he said with a lift of his shoulder in a quick shrug.
“What do you mean he wouldn’t say?” Tyson shot him a glare. “You have the rings, right?”
Markus nodded.
He’d known Tyson and Oliver for most of his life, since before school. They’d played footy each Saturday and later, during their teenage years, hung out together afterwards as well. Yet, after watching a game of soccer, Markus changed sports. Oliver had switched to baseball a year later, after spending a few months in the States. The youngest of the trio, however, had stayed with football and was one of the most regarded players in the Australian Football League. Despite going their different ways in sports, their friendship had remained as strong as the early years and nowadays they caught up as often as possible to watch a game of cricket or motor racing.
Oliver rushed into the room. “Sorry for that.”
“You will be. Trust me, I’ll think of something to muck up your wedding day, too.”
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…
Hi, Iris,
Isn’t this the same scene as last week? Or am I hallucinating?
Same paragraph, a little further on 😉
I love novels set in Australia and New Zealand. The rings incident makes me think of my own when the hubby forgot them at the house hahaha. Re-tweeted!
OMG – I would’ve died … LOL. Thanks Maggie.
Sounds like they have a great friendship!
They do! Going through thick and thin together 😉
Reminds me of my brother’s wedding when he dropped the rings and they rolled down the aisle. Later at the reception he joked that someone must have buttered the rings! Lovely excerpt, Iris!
OMG Jana, what a wedding moment to remember! And so good of him, to see the funny side of it 🙂 Thanks for sharing.
