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.

"What other big secret could you possibly have?"

Sabrina Welsh was just a simple waitress when Liam Collins walked into her life. He wanted her but she was too cautious to let him have her. So he gave a offer she would be too foolish to turn down. Be his paid girlfriend. "God you're so fucking sexy," he'd breathed, his face moving closer to mine. "Go out with me," he groaned. I gasped before nodding. His scent was so intoxicating. His eyes so hypnotizing... "Kiss me," he growled, his eyes suddenly dark and wild with...with lust.

After a rude awakening, Bayonetta must see what her confused life is really about. But when her darkness tries to take over again Bayonetta becomes helpless and soon allows it to consume her. Connor, her mate, will have no choice but to wait. To wait for what? To wait for the moment he could actually hold her again. {Sequel to The Hybrid Mer}
