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

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.

'Pain isn't remotely kind in that way. Pain wants its promised pound of flesh, ounce for ounce. It won't settle until you're left with nothing but a flaky shell of who you were. The burn of betrayal and the sting of rejection hurt, but nothing compares to the pain of being empty. Nothing hurts worse than not hurting at all and it makes no sense and perfect sense at the same time and I'm convinced I'm going crazy and I'm actually okay with that.'

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.

"I have been watching you for a while now, my love" he whispered darkly in my ear. "Why are you doing this to me" I squeaked, earning a low chuckle from him. "Because" he said, moving his hands from the wall above my head and down my body, resting very low on my waist. "I can". ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Highest Rank: 1st in Fanfiction WARNING: Contains sexual content and mature language, read at own risk!!

For the #Visible Campaign, I wanted to write about one of the prejudices faced by people with physical disabilities: the assumption that anyone whose body is less than perfect somehow lacks a normal libido, and that no-one would want to get physical with such a person, anyways. This is the story of Wyatt and Tess, two college students spending their first night together, and how doing things a little differently isn't always a bad thing. **WARNING - CONTAINS MATURE CONTENT**

To Piper Baker, love is a hoax simply created to brainwash us all into believing life isn't as bad as it seems. She knows better though. Piper knows not to trust in the unreliability of love but to rather focus on what she can control- the opening of her specialty bake store. But Piper is soon going to find that life is filled with surprises and when you have a mother like Anne Baker, not believing in love is not an option. When Piper's mother signs her up on a dating website, Piper is torn between sticking to her anti-love ways or embracing the possibility of a life companion. Add in the gorgeous landlord, Scott Daniels and suddenly Piper's structured life becomes all kinds of chaotic. But maybe somewhere along the line Piper may discover the true definition of love and maybe she might just become a believer in it too.

This isn't a deep book about first loves or self-discovery. If you want a book like that, I'd be happy to recommend one, but I don't have that kind of story to tell. Instead my story is about rash decisions and finding out that your dream guy is bad in bed. It's the story of when I finally went skinny dipping, and how my life was never the same again. Oh, and it's also the story of my freshman year of college and realizing Mr. Right might have been there all along.
