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

'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.

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.

{Highest Ranking: #3 in Short Story} Tyler - who is best known as superstar Jet Valentine - and his girlfriend Anna have been together now for almost four years. Anna has joined Tyler on his latest world tour, while she finishes up her college degree online. Things get a little weird between them when they both start keeping secrets from each other. Can they figure it all out and fix it, or has their relationship just run its course? Sequel to Late Night Conversations. It can be read as a standalone, but to understand the whole story behind Anna and Tyler's relationship, I suggest you read Late Night Conversations first. :) *Please be aware that this is going to be more New Adult since Tyler and Anna are a little older already. So things might be a bit more mature, nothing graphic though.*

when they both met that day, they never knew how much impact they both was going to have on each other
