He never knew life could be this way, but truly if he did, he wouldn't have cared. He cared about nothing, not even himself until her. Before her, he was empty/ Before her he knew nothing of joy or completion, and this is his journey to his life After her.

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

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.

To their friends they're enemies. To their families they're old friends. To eachother they're... complicated. Darcie Chapman has a past with Hardin Scott that she'd rather forget about. She hates him, but that doesn't stop her from wanting him more than she's ever wanted anything else. She masks her true self every day in fear of not fitting into a world where imperfections are judged and deemed as weaknesses. So Darcie Chapman has to be perfect. Nobody notices the lie of a life she lives, but then there's Hardin - her enemy, her old friend, the guy that she maybe doesn't hate as much as she claims to - who see's through it all.
