Every girl wants their happily ever after. Every girl wants their knight in shining armor to come and rescue them. HA. Yeah right. Every girl wants someone to love them and hold them and be eternally faithful. HAHA. Keep dreaming. Every girl craves arms to hug them and lips to kiss them and hand to hold theirs and hearts to love theirs forever. HA. HA. HA. Sure... Oh, I'm dreadfully sorry. Am I bothering you? Pardon my French, but I didn't realize I was speaking REALITY. Wake up, sweet heart. This is the real world and the only place you're ever going to get even remotely close to a prince is at DISNEYLAND. I, Aurora Colston, am not a princess. Therefore I will NEVER get my Happily Ever After.

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.
