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.

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.

When 19-year old Ciena Trevor moved to Galveston, Texas, she expected to relax on the beach and focus on her sophomore year in college. What she did not expect, though, was having to battle through armies of the undead. When Ciena runs into shy Irish boy, Niall Horan, she discovers that the secret that weighs down Niall might weigh more than the corpse in the back of Ciena's car.
