Sie hatte sich schon auf dem Weg zur Spitze gesehen… 

Die 16-jährige Natalya Pushkaya hat nur einen einzigen Traum: die beste Ballerina zu werden, die es je gegeben hat. Das Tanzen hat schon immer bestimmt, wer sie ist und sie würde alles tun, um die Hauptrolle in der jährlichen Abschlussvorstellung der School of Performing Arts zu landen. Aber…wird es ihr gelingen? 

Innerhalb einer Woche ändert sich Natalyas Leben für immer.

Are you interested in self-publishing? Listen to my podcast: A Self-Published Author’s Diary ...

Numbers: A TikTok Experiment As an Indie Author (the yay, the nay, and what it costs), pre-order numbers and more – A self-published author's diary: The Ups and Downs of Self-Publishing (and everything in-between)

This one's a numbers-and-behind-the-scenes episode. I share a full preorder update across all five of my current books, platform by platform, the good and the zero, and where I'm at ten days into a thirty-day TikTok experiment in 2026 (I know, I know).The BookTok part is genuinely interesting to me: one video crossed 2,000 views and somehow racked up more than eight hours of total watch time, while its near-identical twin stalled at 94 and I have no idea why. That's kind of the whole lesson. I get into what's working, where in the world people are actually watching from (hello, UK), how many of them clicked through (spoiler: two), and yes, what it's costing me in focus, because I opened the app nineteen times in one afternoon and that felt worth admitting out loud.Plus: the Belgian VAT answer that arrived in eleven pages, the Barnes & Noble payment I'm still chasing, a trip to the ER that cancelled a posting day, and trying to use my phone less.And I'm going to interview the chemical engineer about how to write a believable one. If you've got a question for him, send it to elodie@elodienow.com. He refuses to see them in advance. So. :-)If you've tried TikTok and it worked for you, or really didn't, come tell me.

EINE ZWEITE CHANCE TEIL 1 (Kapitel 1 – Kapitel 25) – A SECOND CHANCE PART 1 (Chapter 1 – Chapter 25)

Manchmal ist eine zweite Chance nicht das, was man erwartet.
Manchmal bekommt man eine zweite Chance auf die Liebe.

Die siebzehnjährige Ballerina Emilia Moretti ist es leid, immer nur die Zweitbeste zu sein. Und sie wird der Welt beweisen, dass sie es verdient, Erste zu sein. In der kommenden Show der Hochschule für Darstellende Kunst. Für ihre leiblichen Eltern. Und im Herzen fürf den Kerl, den sie liebt.
Aber als nichts so läuft wie geplant, muss sie erkennen, was es wirklich bedeutet, Erste zu sein.

Der achtzehnjährige Nick Grawski will nicht mehr den Regeln seines Vaters folgen. Er wird beweisen, dass er dazu bestimmt ist, ein Tänzer zu sein – kein Anwalt – und er wird sich nicht von Em fernhalten, nur weil sein Vater es verlangt. Selbst als ihre Welt einstürzt, auch als er herausfindet, dass sein Vater nur versucht hat, ihn zu schützen, auch als es härter ist, für einander da zu sein als sich zu verlieben.

Sometimes, you don’t expect a second chance.
Sometimes, you get a second chance at love.

Seventeen-year-old ballerina Emilia Moretti is tired of always being second best. And she’s going to prove the world she deserves to be first. In her upcoming School of the Performing Arts showcase. In the eyes of her birth parents. And in the heart of the guy she loves. 
But when nothing goes the way she planned, she’ll need to realize what it really means to be first.

Eighteen-year-old Nick Grawski doesn’t want to follow Daddy Dearest’s rules any longer. He’s going to prove he’s meant to be a dancer—not a lawyer—and he is not going to stay away from Em just because his father demands it. Even when her world goes down to shit, even when he finds out his dad may have been trying to protect him all along, even if being there for one another is harder than falling in love.

Stai imparando l’inglese? Are you learning Italian?

Elodie

This book can help you with that: one page in English, one page in Italian …
Questo libro può aiutarti: una pagina è in inglese e una in italiano.

Lei è la sorella più piccola del suo migliore amico. Lui è il miglior rubacuori in circolazione. Non dovrebbero stare insieme. Però quest’estate la tentazione sarà grande.

She’s his best friend’s little sister. He’s the biggest player of them all. They shouldn’t be together. But this summer’s just too tempting.

Sarà un’estate senza precedenti.
 It’s going to be a summer like no other.

L’obiettivo che la sedicenne Emilia Moretti si è prefissata per l’estate è semplice: dimenticarsi che il migliore amico di suo fratello – Nick Grawsky – sia mai esistito. Dovrebbe essere facile: lui passerà l’estate negli Hamptons, andando ad aggiungere ragazze in bikini succinti alla sua lista di cuori spezzati. E garantito che non le tratterà come delle sorelle. Quest’estate Emilia non starà sveglia di notte pensando a lui. Avrà bisogno di perfezionarsi in modo impeccabile nella danza classica, se spera di combinare qualcosa di buono il prossimo anno. E poi è finalmente pronta a cercare i suoi genitori naturali. Ma quando Nick decide di restare in città, tutta la risolutezza di Emilia svanisce nell’istante di una piroetta. Forse è la svolta di cui avevano bisogno per stare insieme. Fintanto che lei non si mette a sperare nel ‘vissero per sempre felici e contenti’ …

Nick è stanco di fingere di essere il classico tipo contento che ama divertirsi. Suo padre vuole che abbandoni i sogni di una carriera da ballerino professionista per diventare… avvocato. Dovrà quindi concentrarsi appieno sulla danza per dare prova al caro paparino della sua possibilità di diventare qualcuno. E per gentile concessione di Emilia, potrebbe capitargli di subire la peggiore frustrazione romantica della storia. Lei è irraggiungibile. Off-limits. Il codice di fratellanza con Roberto proibisce pensieri audaci nei suoi confronti. E poi lui non è tipo da fidanzamenti: ha tempo solo per le scappatelle, per ragazze che non si aspettano chissà che, per ragazze a cui non è costretto a dare il bacio della buonanotte. Sa che dovrebbe resisterle, ma non è sicuro di volerlo fare…

Almeno per quest’estate.
Sarà un’estate senza precedenti.
****
Sixteen-year-old Emilia Moretti’s goal for the summer is simple: forget her brother’s best friend—Nick Grawsky—ever existed. It should be easy: He’s spending his summer in the Hamptons, adding girls in tiny bikinis to his list of broken hearts. Guarantee he won’t be telling them they’re like his little sisters. This summer, Emilia won’t stay awake at night thinking about him. She’ll need flawless ballet movements to have a shot at next year’s showcase, and she’s finally ready to search for her birth parents. But when Nick decides to stay in the city, Emilia’s resolve disappears in a pirouette. Maybe it’s the spin they needed to be together. As long as she doesn’t get stuck believing in happily ever after…

Nick is tired of pretending to be the happy, let’s-have-fun guy. His father wants him to change his career from professional dancer to…lawyer. He needs to put all of his focus on dancing to prove to Daddy Dearest he’s good enough to make it big. And he may have a case of the bluest balls in history courtesy of Emilia. She’s off-limits: The bro code with Roberto even forbids the dirty thoughts he has about her. Besides, he’s not boyfriend material. He only has time for flings, for girls who don’t expect much, for girls he doesn’t want to kiss goodnight. He knows he should resist her, but he’s not sure he wants to…

At least for this summer.
It’s going to be a summer like no other.
