ballet hockeyplayer reallove romance

Darcy Garret has lived a life dictated by the rhythm of dance - each movement precise, each pirouette flawless. Until the moment an accident shatters both her body and her identity, leaving her to confront a future where her greatest passion may never be the same. In the sterile silence of a hospital room, with the weight of her injury sinking deep into her bones, Darcy is left with a question that hangs heavy in the air: who is she without ballet?

           Silas Asher, a hockey player at the peak of his career, has long closed himself off from intimacy, his heart broken by the ghost of a past love. Uninterested in anything beyond the game, he carries his own burdens in the quiet spaces between the loud roar of the ice. When his path unexpectedly crosses Darcy's - a woman as broken as he is, yet still holding on to a fragile thread of hope - they are drawn together by a shared understanding of loss, even if they don't yet know how to heal from it.

   In the suffocating weight of their individual grief, neither Darcy nor Silas can avoid the haunting question of whether they can ever truly rebuild. Can a body broken by years of dedication to a single dream ever be restored? And can a heart, once closed off, find the courage to love again?

               Shattered Pirouettes is a haunting exploration of fragility and resilience, of the pieces we lose when life slips from our grasp and the quiet, uncertain steps we must take to move forward. For Darcy and Silas, recovery is not simply about mending wounds - it's about confronting what remains when everything they once knew is torn apart.All Rights Reserved

Disaster-in-Waiting NOW AVAILABLE TO BUY ON AMAZON by ElleMThomas

WARNING R-RATED Disaster-in-Waiting was a dream come true for me. Firstly writing it and then sharing it on here and receiving such a wonderful response to it. It was because of the support and encouragement on here that I finally took the decision to self-publish as an e-book. It is available on Amazon and can be read for free on there with Kindle Unlimited. ****Mature audience only due to adult themes; sex, language and situations**** Eloise Ross is married to Michael, her much older and recently retired husband. He fills his days with golf and walking the dog, while she fills her days working as a newly appointed P.A. to the CEO of an international company. One night, disillusioned with her sexless marriage she goes out alone, drinks beer and dances with a handsome stranger. The moves on the dance floor quickly lead to passion and excitement like El has never known, but it was only one night, one time. Just that once couldn't mean anything, could it? Just that once changed her view on everything she'd ever thought she'd known or valued; her home, family, husband and marriage, but most of all herself. As her life begins to unravel, with twists and turns that make her laugh, cry and despair El has only one constant to hang onto, her handsome stranger. "Because I don't want to end it. I'm not exactly what you'd call experienced," I said with a warm flush creeping up my cheeks. "I thought everything I had, with Michael was an ideal life until that night, when I met you and something switched inside me, a realisation that it was as far from ideal as anything ever could be. I don't think I'm being clear here, sorry. I am not trying to pin my happiness or the consequences of this on you, God, I don't even call you by your first name so to expect anything of you is not realistic!"

"Who do you think you are, dude?" Levi spits, getting in Jack's face. "Look, Scarlett was just helping me out with a proj-" "I'm not your dude," Jack bites, and I want to tear my hair out of my head. This is going downhill very fast. Jack turns to me. "Scar, we need to talk," he says lowly. Then loud enough for Levi to hear, "So can you please get this kid to leave." "Hey, you don't get to come in here and start ordering her around," Levi says harshly. "You don't control her." "And you think that you do?" Jack spits. ♔ When Scarlett moved off to college, she hoped to start anew and find her way in this world alone. Two problems.
