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

Im Kaylee Van. Im 16 years old and up until now I've never set a foot outside of the small town of Beech Creek, PA. But in about 30 minutes Ill be boarding a plane and Ill finally be moving from the city with a population of 683 people to spend my junior year as an exchange student in Seaside, California in a large beach house that my uncle lends to my dad every summer. Im not an extrovert... at all... but hopefully that changes this year. I actually want to be able to make friends and date guys and be a normal teenager for once. Now that i think of it, maybe thats the reason why my dad offered to send me to California, to break out of my introverted toxic mind, but i guess ill just find out when i get there...

I'm Briana Hayworth and I live in a world where everyone has one distinct soulmate based off of one simple thing: charm necklaces. They glow and get increasingly hotter when you are near or have found your soulmate. Mine is the left half of a purple heart. My soulmate must be one brave guy to go walking around with half of a girly purple heart around his neck. I guess the necklaces are actually a good thing because then you don't have to go through all the heartbreak before finding "the one". My parents found they were each others soulmates when they were both only 14 years old. I had always hoped that would happen for me. Problem is, I'm already 16. So hoping to find young love is a ship that has already sailed. My parents charm is a blue square. I know, pretty boring, huh? Well, the important thing is that I have never seen two people as much in love as they are. That's why I want to find my soulmate so badly. But, no luck so far. Maybe the poor boy is stuck in a well somewhere. Well, wherever he is, I just hope I find him soon.
