#MFRWHooks “I’m a very attractive man.” #love #books #mustread #Sportsromance

 

Hi everyone –

I’m continuing with another teaser from Book 3 in the Australian Sports Romance Series – Entangled Moments. Enjoy ♥♥

This week’s Hook …

She leaned her head against his hard chest, all sorts of thoughts racing through her mind, which was still not working one hundred percent because of all the pain relievers. Of course, she knew it was better that way, but sometimes better wasn’t necessarily human. She sagged into herself, and as she weighed the pros and cons for one last time, she admitted, “I know. But why the hell am I so damn attracted to you today?”

He lifted a shoulder in a shrug. “’Because I’m a very attractive man.”

To hell with his humour. She was too exhausted to cope with it, still hungover, and emotionally all over the place. Had she really made a move on her best friend? And had she done it only twenty-four hours after finding Timmy in bed with someone else? Brushing all her thoughts aside, she met Markus’ gaze dead on. “And completely full of yourself.”

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…

This week’s Hook …

“I’d rather have a hot chocolate. I’m sure the chance of getting an orgasm from inhaling it is higher than spending a few minutes with you,” she finally said as she stormed down the hall towards the kitchen, her headache thumping in behind her eyes again.

The echo of his heavy footsteps told her he was following her. Now she wasn’t so sure at all anymore whether she wanted him to. He’d killed her mood. Or had her common sense returned? She needed a drink.

“Sweet pea, don’t be like that.”

She shuddered. “Don’t call me that. That’s Oliver’s jargon when he hits on a girl.”

“Sweetheart?”

“Tyson’s.”

“Sunshine?”

“You had your chance.”

With a chuckle, he placed an arm around her shoulder and dropped a kiss just above her ear. “Trust me, it’s better this way. We’re risking a perfect friendship.”

This week’s Hook …

A slight sigh escaped her lips, frustration building inside her at his teasing. Tilting her head, she saw his eyes lit with mischief. “Just get on with it.”

Markus nipped her ear. “What if your mother finds out? She’ll send me to hell and back.”

Placing her hand on his hard chest, she pushed him away. “No wonder you haven’t been with a girl for a long time. Your foreplay sucks, Marky.”

His bark of laughter filled the room.

“You’re such an arse. Honestly.”

He shrugged. “Baby, I just want to make certain this is what you want.”

She studied him intently, still stunned by how sexy he looked.

Damn him.

They’d known each other for such a long time, and known each other well. Her lips curled when she remembered when their mouths connected for the first time. She’d thrown a bucket of beach sand at him. He hadn’t talked to her for days. Hadn’t even shared his mother’s homemade pizza with her.

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?”

This week’s Hook …

“I wouldn’t,” she disagreed with more force than she had intended.

Letting out a throaty laugh, he opened the door. “You would so.”

With a gentle push on her back, he moved her inside, and Sarah walked straight towards her bedroom with a mix of disappointment, anger, and…relief.

“Night, Marky.”

“No hot chocolate?”

She stopped and looked over her shoulder, considering the idea of a nice warm drink as well as Markus’ company. He moved towards her, and, again, a look in his blue eyes sent a rush through her that went right to her toes. All her nerves tingled and were on full alert when he lifted his thumb and touched her cheek to wipe a tear away. She was crying.

Letting out an exasperated sigh, she cuddled up against his chest, with his strong arms around her.

“You should’ve told me,” she whispered.

“Which part? That you forgot about the hot chocolate?”

She gave him a soft slap on his arm. “About Timmy.”

As he placed a light kiss on her forehead, he held her even closer. “It wasn’t for me to say anything.”

This week’s Hook …

Sarah rubbed her eyes with the ball of her hand before she turned and met Markus’ eyes. “Thank you, Marky,” she said softly. “Thanks for taking me home.”

Nodding, he stepped closer, took the keys from her, and unlocked the door. “Have a good snooze, baby. And call me in the morning.”

She bit her lip as she took the keys. “I will.” Closing her eyes for a moment, she inhaled a long breath, so unfamiliar with the situation that she needed a second to refocus. Markus had often given her a lift home and dropped her off at the door, but for her to have each nerve in her body responding to his nearness was something new. Somehow, his familiar scent played havoc with her senses, and she had no idea why. She locked her knees to withstand his gaze. And before she gave it a second thought, her mouth was on his.

“What are you doing?” Markus asked against her lips, not backing away, though.

With her hands fisted in his shirt, she lifted her head to meet his gaze. “Can’t you pretend for just one night that I’m not just your friend, but more? You know more as in … sexy … attractive …”

He chuckled lightly, which she didn’t know how to read.

“Marky?”

Moving a strand of hair from her face, he replied, “Aww, baby. I don’t have to pretend, but I know we’d both regret it.”

Hi everyone –

I’m Ba-ack! We’ve just returned from a nice break in Europe, visiting my family and travelling Norway. Definitely have many new ideas for another book.

This week’s Hook …

 “Honey, you’d better go and have a dance with Tamara,” she whispered. “I know you two have issues, but try to put it aside. She looks lonely.”

He followed her gaze and said, “Hope you feel better soon.”

She nodded and then followed Markus towards the doors. Her eyes landed on his tuxedo again, the white shirt, and the dark grey tie. Damn, he was pure sexiness. His blond hair was cut short, the usual slight wave gone. Not something she’d approve of. She liked his hair longer. It gave him that mischievous look that she’d known since childhood. That same look in his blue eyes that had radiated trouble fifteen years ago, when he’d taken her hand and led her to the top of a diving board with the words Let’s go flying. Today, he’d even shaved for the occasion.

A warm tingle teased her in her stomach and between her legs, and she was unable to hold back a shiver, surprised at the intensity of his effect he had on her today.

“For crying out loud, Marky,” she mumbled, then added a lot louder, “Slow down a little. Not everyone is as fit as you are.”

His laugh sent a shiver down her spine.

This week’s Hook …

 

“C’mon, princess. I’ll make you a hot chocolate as well.”

She stood and noticed Oliver on his way over. “Please don’t tell him,” she begged Markus.

“What’s up?” Oliver asked.

“Saz drowned her sorrow in some red last night after finding out Timmy cheated on her,” Markus explained.

She slapped him against his chest. “I asked you not to say anything.”

Markus cocked an eyebrow. “I thought you meant the chocolate.”

Oliver laughed, tugging Sarah into a hug. “I told you—”

“Don’t say it,” she mumbled against his chest.

“You should try—”

She placed a finger on his lips. “Just tell the happy couple congratulations, and I’ll catch up with them when they return from their honeymoon.”

“You really are out of it, sweet pea. They left about half an hour ago.”

Another sigh escaped her lips. “Even better. I don’t have to feel guilty for leaving the party early.”

Oliver placed a kiss on Sarah’s forehead.

This week’s Hook …

She stared at him. “Do you have any idea what Katie would’ve done to me if I hadn’t performed?”

He laughed, because he probably did. Katie was kind and petite, but knew what she wanted. “How about I take you home? I’m sure this wedding party is near its end and will possibly survive without you.”

“Promise me a hot chocolate?”

His body shook slightly as he held back his laughter. His soft snicker told her he was thinking of their holidays in the Swiss Alps as well.

A few years earlier, Markus had played for an English soccer club and invited her for a holiday in Switzerland. They’d spent a week in a wooden farm house just outside a small village, between massive snow-capped mountains. Wherever she’d looked were ski slopes or fields with cattle. It’d been divine. And after a long day outside, they’d sat by the fire and drunk hot chocolate.

This week’s Hook …

The words stung like acid in her stomach. Yes, Markus had told her more than a couple of times that he thought there’d been something iffy about Timmy. Even Ty and Oliver had voiced their concerns, but she’d been happy the last four months. She hadn’t expected that one. Not at all. So last night she’d drowned her sorrows in that one glass of red wine too many and was now paying for it.

Markus gently pulled her a little bit closer again. “I’m not going to say any such thing.”

“I deserve it, though.”

His mouth curved into a smile. “Baby, no you don’t. The only person deserving something is Timmy. And that’s a big fist connecting with his face.”

She laughed, but regretted it straight away. “Oh, my God, Marky. Don’t make me laugh, please. I have the worst hangover ever. The last glass of the red wine last night didn’t agree with me.”

“You’ve done well fooling everyone today if that’s the case.”
