Former roommates-once more than friends, now less than lovers-find themselves on opposite sides of a courtroom. A hidden tragedy and buried secrets force them to confront the past while fighting for justice and each other.

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.
