Women of W.A.R.

I'm following one of my dreams...but do I dare to follow my heart? Cress Kennedy One thing everyone in Grong Grong knows about me: it's always been my dream to play Aussie Rules Football. And now, the Sydney Sirens are signing me for the new Women's Aussie Rules competition. I'm headed to Sydney. To stay with my brother's best friend. Quin. But, here's one thing no-one in Grong Grong knows about me: how much I want Quin to see me as a woman, and take him for myself... Quin Fitzpatrick I knew as soon as she got a chance to play in the Women's Aussie Rules competition that Cress would be a star. I knew it made sense for her to come and stay with me, where I could protect her, show her the ropes. Watercress from Grong Grong, the little sister I never had. I never expected Cress, gorgeous, generous, Cress, to shake me out of my rut. Now how am I ever going to go back to life without her around.

Darcy Clarke There's nothing I wouldn't do to play for the Brisbane Banshees in the new Women's Aussie Rules league. I think I've proved that given that I'm willing to put up with the coach being my ex, Tony. He may have stomped over my heart, but I've moved on, and I'm focused on my team. I don't need any men in my life—apart from Levi, of course, my roommate, and friend. And my saviour, now that I've corked my thigh in our first game, and need his sports massage skills to get me back on the field. What I feel when Levi touches me ... is making things very complicated. Levi Darcy was always my best friend's girl—Tony's girl. Two years on and she still doesn't know how I've felt all this time. There's no way I'm leaving her in pain when I can fix her injury and get her back to playing the sport she loves. No matter how much touching her makes me want to make her mine at last. Finally, I've got a bit of hope—the last thing we need is Tony suddenly deciding he wants to take Darcy back after all...

She thought she had her future sorted, but life has other plans... Get the reference, get the job, get out of here: I know what I want. What I've always wanted. What I've been raised to want. The only thing standing between me and my dream overseas nursing job is a reference from my boss, and a very special little girl in the hospice care where I work who I just can't say goodbye to yet. The last thing I need is Sawyer Benson, the AFL legend and an arrogant smile, coming in to visit the kids at the hospice and interfering with my life. But, when Emily tells me that girls can't play football, I know that I have to prove to her that girls can do anything they want. So, Sawyer and I strike a bargain. I'll play his girlfriend when the camera's on, and off-camera he'll train me up for the Women's Aussie Rules league try-outs. Together we'll show Emily that girls are brave and strong and can do anything they dream of. I still know what I want. I can walk away from footy and go back to my original plan. Football and arrogant smiles can't be my future. Can they?
