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

If you get a chance, take it. If it changes your life, let it. I need to see what this city would have in store for me. That's what Amelia Bryne told her self when she dropped everything and moved north to the windy city. Her first apartment, her dream college of choice, and her best friend at her side, what could she possibly be worried about? Everying, she was worried about everything. School, finding a stable job, classes, making friends, absolutely everything. Yet Amelia's determined not to let it hold her back. That is until, she meets Niall. The boy with the tattoos, the piercings, and a general 'couldn't care less,' attitude. He pushed all of her buttons, and seemingly tried to make her life absolutely miserable. But what happens when they're forced to work together on a semester long project? One that requires you to really really know your partner? Will Amelia stand behind her walls or will they come tumbling down when Niall finally lets her in? __________________________________________________________ Big thanks to jesusfuckingchristharold.tumblr.com for letting me use her edit of Niall as the cover for this story.
