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.

HEARTBREAK.. it feels like you have fallen into a cactus and your heart has been punctured a million times over by tiny pins. It stings at first, but now it feels as if they've left you numb-not even slightly painful, just numb. You are not bleeding, but you know after you slowly start to pull these foreign objects out, one by one, the blood will come gushing out.
