Today's hook
Quietly, he slipped out of the room and went back into the kitchen. The
coffee was cold by now. Markus turned on the kettle again and five minutes
later, he sat in Sarah’s lounge room, watching the rest of a movie while
sipping his coffee. The movie didn’t have the desired effect to hold his
attention, though, and his mind wandered off.
Sarah’s kiss had come completely out of the blue to him. But at the same
time it’d affected him deeply as
she’d stood in front of him in the flat column ruffle champagne dress. He
chuckled as he recalled how often she’d tried to describe the dress to him.
She’d looked sensational in it. Simply the look of her had made him yearn for
her.
And he’d found out that kissing her had come as natural to him as
breathing.
His heart squeezed a little at her misery seeing Timmy with another
woman. Not a nice sight at the best of times, it would’ve broken her heart.
Markus remembered how she had swooned over Timmy, indicating he was it for her.
He’d have loved to put his fist into this guy’s face for hurting her so much.
No one messed with his girl.

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?

Book #3 of the Australian Sport Series - also the one I enjoyed the most :) Their love story is not your regular "thrills" one - you know, the one with shivers top to bottom and bottom to top - at the first sight :) It's a beautiful story about the friendship, strong and true, turning slowly into some profound feelings. They do not realize it at first, then they do not want to realize that, finally they are too scared to admit it... :) But it gets them anyways :D
