Happy
"Book Hook" Day
May I 'hook' you on "I think I love you"
my latest release in the Australian Sport Stars series?
"I think I love you"
is set in Melbourne, in the wonderful country of Australia.
I hope you get hooked by this Snippet
Blurb:
Markus DeLeon and Sarah Winter’s lives couldn’t be more different… After three years away as the goalkeeper for an English soccer club, Markus has been happy to be back in Australia. He’d missed his family and friends, including Sarah. He’s known her since childhood, and often protected her from the teasing of other children and the troubling consequences of a broken home.
When they attend their friends’ wedding, a new light is cast on their friendship… Sarah is fresh out of a bad relationship, and Markus has always been the one she can confide in. Maybe it’s the magic of the wedding—or how stunning he looks in a tux—but the attraction between them intensifies in ways they’d never imagined.
But sometimes when risking what you have, you might lose everything… Following a passionate encounter, Markus isn’t sure how to handle this new aspect of his relationship with Sarah, and literally flees the scene for the coast. Sarah is unsure how to react to his sudden departure, but is soon knocked off course by misunderstandings and a frightening family emergency.
Markus realises his mistake and wants to make things right, but he also faces obstacles. He’s been offered an exciting new job, and an attractive newcomer to the neighbourhood is eager to claim his attention, though the last thing Markus needs is another confusing relationship.
Can Sarah and Markus face the fear and doubt—and the potential loss of their lifelong friendship—to give their love a chance?

Today's hook
Oliver
came into the room. “Sorry for that.”
“You
will be. Trust me, I’ll think of something to muck up your wedding day too.”
Oliver
snorted, but didn’t reply.
There
was a gentle knock at the door and the minister opened the door. “Ready?”
The
guys looked at each other and nodded in unison.
“Let’s
do this,” Tyson said, with a determination that brought another smile to
Markus’ face.
They
followed the minister into the church and stood in a line in front of the
altar. The hushed voices stopped for a moment. The church was packed to the
last seat. Markus saw a few familiar faces like his family, Ty and Oliver’s
family, Ty’s football mates and friends, and of course Katie’s mum, family, and
friends. Nervously, he checked his pocket for the rings again. When the organ
started, everyone in the church stilled, and the three friends turned to face
the entrance of the church to watch the bride come down the aisle with her
father. Katie looked sensational, but so did Teagan, her friend. Yet, Markus
almost lost his breath when he saw Sarah. He’d known her for as long as he
could remember. Of course, he knew she was very attractive, he wasn’t blind,
but today she looked simply stunning. The hairdresser did a brilliant job getting
her wavy dark hair under control, and the make-up, in his judgement as a guy,
was spot on, emphasising her chocolate brown eyes like little gems.
Almost
stealing the show, though, was Cailyn. Ty’s little niece led the bridal party
looking like a little angel in her dress, as she walked down the aisle while
carefully dropping rose petals from a small basket.
