The passionate story of Tessa and Hardin continues as family secrets, deep betrayals, and career opportunities threaten to tear them apart.

This is the sequel (continuation) of After. Hardin and Tessa's relationship will be tested in ways she never expected, but he knew of all along.

Tessa Young is an 18 year old college student with a simple life, excellent grades, and a sweet boyfriend. She always has things planned out ahead of time, until she meets a rude boy named Hardin, with too many tattoos and piercings who shatters her plans.

Bailey and Talia. Roommates and best friends. Love cuts through their reign when Talia decides its time to move in with her long term boyfriend leaving Bailey in the dust. Without enough money to pay rent on time, she has to find a new roommate. The only one available is the one guy she can't bear to be around. Carter Shaw. A wink of the eye and your resolve will fall faster than you can say 'no'. He was just that good. With Bailey and Carter both living carefree lives, you can say that living arrangements are going to be chaotic. Mixing two bachelors together is bound to get messy. Throw in competitions, dares, and things that weren't likely to occur and you have Bailey, and her roommate, Carter. ~∞~ "You're starting to sag." I gasped loudly and pushed Carter down the rest of the stairs. He was laughing loudly. "I'm kidding. Your ass looks fine." He grabbed my butt and made a beeline to his car before I could get him back. I felt violated. "This affection you're showing must stop." I slammed his car door shut. "Whoa. Don't mess with the interior." I opened the door and slammed it shut once more. "Bailey. I will start my car and drive. Then while I'm driving, I will throw you out the car." "No you won't because you can't kill me. I'm too pretty to die." I said. He snorted.

"Why'd you stop?" I asked him. He didn't answer, just walked us over to my bed and set me down. "Jace..?" He kissed me hard and walked out, closing the door behind him. My name is Alexis Williams, but I like to go by Lexi. I recently signed up for a summer program with my best friend, Hayley Jacobson, where we get to live on our own for an entire summer in condos paired up with other students from different schools. It sounds exciting, right? Well leave it to me to be paired up with two guys, one of which my best friend starts to fall head over heels for, the other, well let's just say he's something. Jace Reyna and Kyler Archuleta, two boys from Valley High School living with us for an entire summer. Some ask "could we handle it, being guys and girls under one roof after all?" I say, "bring on the fun."

He never knew life could be this way, but truly if he did, he wouldn't have cared. He cared about nothing, not even himself until her. Before her, he was empty/ Before her he knew nothing of joy or completion, and this is his journey to his life After her.
