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.

They met at detention. Who knew they were also going to end up doing it in detention? There was no teacher to look after them after all, so they took the opportunity. On the second time that they've done the deed, they agreed to continue what they're doing. Yes, they became fuck buddies. The rules were simple, no affectionate feelings, no telling anyone else, must use protection at all times, must be one text or call away, should be willing to do it if the other wants to, anytime and anywhere. Oh, and of course, no sex during periods. No love, just sex. Just like that movie called 'No Strings Attached'. But what may happen if one of them develops romantic feelings for the other and wants all the strings attached? Will the other reject these feelings or confess that they feel the same? ©rosevioletx (2015)
