She has a survival guide. He's about to burn it. Emmy Carter knows exactly how the world works for a scholarship girl at Blackthorne University: keep your head down, keep your grades up, and stay invisible. Above all, never cross paths with the elite. Especially not Cole Harrington-the university's golden lacrosse captain, the arrogant multi-million dollar heir to a Boston empire, and a guy who looks like sin wrapped in cold, gray-eyed indifference.

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.
