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

At the age of 14 Sydir Thomas and his family moved to a new city. It was there in middle school that he met the love of his life. Miccayla Avery was not one of the most popular girls, but she caught the eye of Sydir who became instantly popular. They loved each other despite their young age, but there were other people who didn't want to see them happy. After a messy breakup they stopped speaking. No other females ever stood a chance. Everyone he dated after that was always compared to Miccayla. She was the one who truly held his heart. Now after 8 years their paths cross. Will the love the once had rekindle or will they allow the pain of the past to stand in their way?
