NB: THIS IS NOT THE COMPLETE VERSION OF THIS STORY. I WILL MAKE CHAPTERS 1-3 AVAILABLE HERE.
Football pro Grant Farley is nursing an injury and needs to get back into shape fast. Ballet wouldn't be his first or even his last choice, but he's desperate. Enter tantalizingly prim teacher Jasmine Bell one disapproving arch of her eyebrow and Grant knows he'll enjoy getting her tutu in a flutter!
But it's not only Grant's flexibility that Jasmine's pushing to the limit! He knows she feels the heat between them, so why won't she give in to it? Time to convince Jasmine that if she's brave enough to dance en pointe she can certainly handle a fling with him!
__________________________________________________
Hi readers!
Only The Brave Try Ballet is the first story I ever wrote. It's also the first in a duology about two ballerinas who live in Melbourne, Australia. Like all my books it has a blend of sexy romance, a touch of humour, drama and other real issues.
Please note, as I am an Australian author writing a story about Australian characters you may find the spelling and some words to be a little different from what you're used to. This story uses Australian/British English spelling.
Also, the football referenced in this story is AFL (Australian Rules Football) which is different to soccer (or football, depending on where you're from!), rugby and NFL football codes.
I hope you enjoy this sneak peek. Happy reading!
With love, Stefanie.

- a featured story on wattpad @sport - a featured story on wattpad @generalfiction School has an odd way of making you hate it yet love the people you meet. I hate both. I've been the new boy at my school for nearly five months. Since my family's life of poverty was flipped on its head I've seen my entire world open up; it's like I was living in a cave. This time last year, I was 'too poor to have a Valentine'. This time this year, I just don't have the guts. Seriously, "Valentine's Day is the root of human anxiety." ~ Albert Einstein. (Don't look it up. I'm telling you what 'the government' doesn't want you to know.) But school has an odd way of giving you the perfect friends, a perfect love life and perfectly supporting your dreams to be a pro football player like your older brother. That, or it crushes you. It just crushes you. Your dreams? Crushed. Your friends? Meh. Your love life? Nonexistent (but as soon as it exists, CRUSHED). But we don't know what will happen for sure, right? I'm Roman Turner, but you can call me "the cool man".

Don't Fall in Love with the Flirt
WARNING! Don't fall in love with the flirt. You're bound to get your heart broken... Growing up, Jasmine Lopez has always been the pretty one. Her stunning features and natural charm have made all the boys flock at her feet and all the other girls hate her. She's that girl who'll steal your date and make your boyfriend's eyes stray. But here's a secret - Jasmine is not the consummate flirt everyone believes her to be. All the guys she dates only see her as a challenge and not as girlfriend material. So she dates a lot but never commits to one guy. It's her way of pushing them away and keeping her heart safe. Until her childhood BFF Sebastian moves back into town. Sebastian is the friendly guy-next-door (with six-pack abs!) who's just too good to be true. And for the first time in her life, Jasmine feels like she can be herself around someone. No games. No pretenses. As they spend more time together, Jasmine thinks that maybe, just maybe, she's starting to catch feelings for him. Can Jasmine let go of her player persona and finally open her heart? Or is Sebastian just playing a game of his own? -- This story has 20 Chapters!

It's hard to hate someone when the more you get to know him the more you discover reasons not to hate him.

High on air (WIW series #1)
Book 1 of the what I want series. From a young age, Jasmine knew exactly what she wanted in life. She had crafted a clear vision for her future; attending school, building a successful career, traveling the world, and ultimately attracting a handsome white partner. But then in came Kalon, smoking hot, panty melting, definitely too dangerous for her health Kalon. He came into her black and white world like a storm, and from then on nothing was ever the same again. ************** Fuck him! It was always that smile, that confident, arrogant smirk, that taunted and laid her well thought out plans to waste. She just wished he wasn't so hot! so him!!! Damn that bastard for making her dream of him, fantasize about him, why couldn't he just be like every guy she let into her life, and fucking fade away. Fuck him! A/n: Get ready for a thrilling ride! Our two leads are fierce, driven, and utterly ambitious, both laser-focused on their ultimate goals. Their instant attraction ignites a fierce internal battle as they resist the pull towards each other, but the sizzling tension is too powerful to withstand. Watch as the magic of the author's pen weaves their destinies together in a whirlwind of passion and ambition! Warning: My novel is not fast-paced; my characters take the time to get to know each other and form a genuine connection before entering into a relationship. If you are looking for a story where the two leads jump into a physical relationship within seconds of meeting, then this is not the book for you. However, if you prefer a romantic novel that focuses on building a meaningful connection, then I invite you to read on.

The Captains
A football player and a cheerleader. The ideal and stereotypical couple right? Think again. Grayson Cooper charming, attractive, and stereotypically arrogant. Grayson is the star quarterback of Ocean City High and the most popular guy. One of those guys that a girl would die if he even talked to them. However even if it didn't seem like it Grayson hated the brainless seeming idiots that flirted with him. This is probably why he's so intrigued by the new girl who defies the stereotypes and isn't what everybody says she is. Aspen Peterson the new girl at Ocean City High new to Florida period. She is not only known as the new girl. Aspen is the captain of the cheerleaders after showing everyone out at tryouts. Blue eyes, dirty blonde hair, nice body, sounds like the stereotypical cheerleader. But that's not what Aspen is. She isn't interested in dating an empty-headed person who knows nothing, doesn't really care about prom, or the empty-headed people who think she sleeps around. Aspen is a free spirit girl, who isn't afraid "to be one of the boys", isn't afraid to be herself, but is afraid to be loved or let anybody in after a difficult past. Aspen vows not to fall in love, because of still struggling to let go. Will all that change when two people who think they're completely different, but really have more in common than they think cross paths? ★ I wrote this when I was in middle school (12-14 years old).

The Playgirl Parker #Wattys2016
#Highest Rating: #102 IN TEEN-FIC I put on my Gucci jacket, strapped on my Jimmy Choos, ran a manicured hand through my freshly-curled hair, and applied a single stroke of my ruby red matte lipstick. He yawned happily from the bed. "Last night was amazing." He said, with a satisfied look. "Should I make you some coffee?" "Don't bother." I replied edgily, as my light eyebrows shot up my forehead, and a suave smirk crept onto my lips. "I'm never seeing you again, mister." The look on his face. Priceless. This is why I do it, the sheer joy I get to see guys this way. ******** Meet me. Ashley Chelsea Parker. THE girl. Sure, I am the Queen of Highschool, not in the innocent head cheerleader way you might be guessing, but in the 'Playgirl Parker' way. Guys want to have me. They not just dream of the amazing night they want to spend with me in bed, but also of changing me, from a playgirl to a whipped girl. All the time, when I hook up, I pity these assholes for thinking 'As If' that could ever happen. Girls want to be me. They dream of possessing the looks, charm, manner, popularity, talent, and all the perfection in me. And then, in anxiety to prove they actually dislike me and are not just plain jealous, they become what the other gender was born as: a dick. And I, then of course, be the bigger one. Flatter me, and I might just be nice to you if you're lucky, but just try to be at the same level as me, and I'll show you how far below you are. But I've had enough experience with many people to know they are certified bitches. All I now bother, is to be the biggest bitch of them all. ******** Presenting to you, the Playgirl Parker. #1 in the Playgirl series. Please try the book, at least once. You're so gonna love this. Hey awesome people. I've recently signed up for a contest, so please read this book, share it on, and keep updated too. Love you Lots, Sheya.Complete
Connections | ✔️
[COMPLETE] Sorry this may be cringe, it was written very long ago A seemingly ordinary, working college girl meets a cool, undeniably sexy boy with millions of followers at his feet. How will their completely different lives allow, or prevent them from getting what they want? Expect some drama, flirty lines, steamy scenes, funny best friends, and perhaps, an overall epic love connection. ~ Carter came around the corner as his eyes darkened with a predatory gaze. Oh no. He took a step forward, minimalizing the distance with every dominating stride, as I froze in my spot. My breath hitched as his arms finally encircled my waist and his eyes locked with mine. In one swift motion, he flipped my body so my back was pressed against his chest and hands gripped the curve of my hips. "What game are you trying to play at Valerie?" he spoke in a husky voice. Goosebumps danced along my skin as his hot breath fanned against the shell of my ear and his fingertips lit a trail of blazing heat along the length of my arm. Mentally shaking myself from the trance of that which is Carter Bryson, I tilted my head towards him and whispered; "One where you'll lose." Quickly escaping his hold on me before the tension became unbearable, I spun on my heel to face him and slowly backed away towards the exit. "Good luck though." I added mischievously. With a smirk and a devilish glint in his eyes that could even give hell a run for its money, he replied; "I'm not a player though, baby. I'm the gamemaker." ~ ❗️Mature content.
