australia ballerina ballet celebrity chicklit contemporary football love romance romcom

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!

[COMPLETE] They say weddings are eventful, to say the least. Anything could happen. What I didn't expect however, was him. My mistake. It's been years since we last spoke- he drives me crazy, in ways no one else has. Being back home and reunited with old friends, was about to get messy. ~ "Morning sleeping beauty," He drawled, leaning against the counter mixing his protein shake vigorously. "Well then you must be the beast and not the prince." I retorted, rummaging through the pantry for some granola I could have with greek yoghurt. "Yeah," he shrugged. I put my bowl and ingredients on the table and frowned. Did... he... just agree with me? "In the gym, in the office... and definitely in bed," he winked. Oh. There it was. He's so full of himself. I rolled my eyes, proceeding to make myself breakfast. It's too early for this. ~ Follow along as two individuals encounter each other once again as adults, whilst their teenage histories shadow over them with every step.

The Playgirl Parker #Wattys2016 by IWrite_1

#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.

Awkward by cherryblossompark

- 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". Gosh, I know I'll cringe at this later. ----------- - a featured story on wattpad @sport - a romance winner at the multi awards - a story told through two points of view • Romance/Sport/Slice of Life | Roman • Prose/Mystery/Psychological | Danielle • BOOK ONE: LIVING. • (EST.) 3390 words/part. • Cover artist - Sage Hieran.

High on air (WIW series #1) by JessicalovesJ

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.

Football royalty and the town's golden boy. He had his life figured out. Football, girls, repeat. With his eyes set on a future in the NFL, there was no time for distractions. But when his dad gets engaged to a woman he barely knows, Nolan's plan gets thrown for a loop. Forced to share a space with his soon to be stepmom and stepsister opens more than just a door to his home. As hidden scars and invisible demons begin to surface, can Nolan keep his eye on the prize, or is he about to discover a whole new goal worth fighting for? *Trigger warning: The FMC struggles with her mental health, including the depiction of an eating disorder.

Twice Two by LeraGood

She was born to be a star. Only one thing remained - to win Drag Race. But what happens when a rival appears on her path to glory - talented, determined... and the one she falls in love with? In a world where victory is worth more than feelings, she must make the impossible choice: between the dream she's lived for and the one who makes her heart race. Notes: The main characters are cisgender men. Their drag names and feminine pronouns are used in the text to convey the atmosphere and spirit of drag culture. Originally written in Russian and later dragged - quite literally - into English. Since English isn't my first language, a couple of chaotic little mistakes might appear. Don't worry, sweetie, they're just doing their own lip-sync. If you'd like to see the original performance, it's right here: https://www.wattpad.com/story/404185985-%D0%B4%D0%B2%D0%B0%D0%B6%D0%B4%D1%8B-%D0%B4%D0%B2%D0%BE%D0%B5 At the moment, this story is fully written - ready to sashay through your eyes, chapter by chapter!

The Captains by maceyywrites

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). It's cringey, some parts don't make sense since I have yet to edit it yet but it is a cute book. You've been warned :) ★ - this book has no smut. it's rated mature due to language. *Completed December 2016* (Cover by - ashtonlirwin ) !!!!!! - THIS IS NOT A DOLAN FANFIC - !!!!! * Please don't translate this book *

The Quiet That Burns by AuthorEverleighBlake

He was her first everything. She was the only thing he ever wanted to keep. Four years ago at a high school party, Lilly St. James asked Luke Richards to take her virginity. No one ever found out. They never spoke of it again. Now they're both at Trentwood University. She's a rising ballet star with a killer body, flirtatious charm, and a reputation for keeping things casual. He's the stoic, unshakable goalie with an NHL contract to protect and desires he can't risk sharing with anyone. Except Lilly. Because she's the only one who knows what he really wants. And he's the only one who knows how dark it got in her head. They don't hide anything from each other. That's always been their problem. So when she asks him to help her explore the fantasies no one else has ever made her feel safe enough to admit, he says no. Until one reckless night, he doesn't. What starts as a private, no-strings arrangement turns into something messy, addictive, and dangerously intimate. She's supposed to be just a list. He's supposed to stay detached. But the more control she gives him behind closed doors, the more he unravels outside of them. Because the truth is-he never forgot the sounds she made that night. And now that he's had a taste, letting her go again might destroy him. But the real threat isn't what they do together in the dark. It's what happens when the whole world finds out. Secrets they can live with. Shame is another story. Especially when it goes viral.

Sophie & Mr. Conrad| ✔ by cherryapples1232

Completed: (1/3/19) "Any questions you would like to ask me?" As soon as Mr.Conrad said that mostly all the girls' hands shot up and a few boys. "Yes, girl in the pink flowery dress." he gestured towards me and I blushed. Derek scoffed and glared at the teacher. "Are you single?" I asked bravely. "Yes I am. Was that suppose to mean something?" He smirked at me and I sunk into my seat, my cheeks blazing red. *********************** Sophie is a passionate dancer with two best friends Lacey and Megan. When they all meet the new teacher, she catches his attention, but what she doesn't know is that there is a boy that has liked her for as long as he could remember. Find out more by reading the original story of Sophie & Mr. Conrad. (Trilogy to shy girl, you can read this separately, but I highly encourage you to read shy girl first.)
