the good & the hood just can't not end up in a disaster

"We've both made mistakes, but that's why we need each other." Everything about Justin's latest girlfriend screams "Not going to last," with her checkered past, a mysterious disease, and parents who are more than quick to disown their only child. Still, no one knows that she's been in Justin's life longer than any other girl; she's been his best friend since she could walk. But when both of them are convinced that they can make their relationship work, secrets from Justin's past begin to resurface piece by piece. With a teen star spiraling out of control and a rebellious girl just trying to find somewhere to belong, nothing about this unconventional couple is perfect.

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