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.

Everything is just a big jumble in Bella's life. Her and Liam are far from getting their relationship fixed, Emily is in the hospital after the hit and run, Chloe is going to court, and Bella is trying to balance her life and school. Second guessing everything that she has done up to now in her life is something that Bella has been doing every day. Did she make the right decision by coming to Australia, what about even calling Liam back after their first meeting in Starbucks? Bella seems to find herself lost. She doesn't seem to know who she is anymore.

Six Months. Six whole months have passed since Bella left for California. Everyone has split their separate ways. Bella is still in California. One Direction is in London. Emily is still working in London, but not in contact with the boys. Niall is still not getting along with the other lads. Nothing has changed within the past six months. Bella is moved on. But the boys and Emily are not prepared to quite yet. Nothing is ever going to be the same after what happened six months ago. Little does Bella know, that even though she is 5456, these boys are about to change her life.... Again.

Everyone imagines having an amazing boyfriend, a huge house, and a great job. Well, this is the real world so snap out of your fantasy. Bella Raceli wants to become a doctor and attend a university. Her parents work hard, but they cant afford to send her to the university that she wants. So for now, Bella is working at Starbucks in London. It's a pretty boring job to Bella.... that is until one interesting day. A guy named 'Bob', comes in for a drink..... but the things is he isn't any normal person. This guy is part of a famous boy band by the name of One Direction...... no his name is not Bob. His name is Liam Payne. This one tall Caramel Mocha, can change both of their lives forever.

I was just another fan to him. I didn't think by sending that one little tweet to Niall Horan, 1/5 of the famous boy band One Direction, my life would change forever. I was nothing special. Just like any other 17 year old girl. Hands touch, eyes meet and apparently, he saw something special in me.
