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.

Michelle Adams is nowhere near popular, and she prefers it that way. She has her best friend Isaac, her burning desire to get into a good college, and a drama-free life just the way she likes it. Until she is inconveniently persuaded by Isaac to go to a dumb high school party before they graduate, where she is instantly thrown into a classic game of spin the bottle with some of her school's most elite. Except there's no kissing involved in this version - not yet at least. Instead, when she spins the bottle and it lands on Cactus Valley High School's biggest heartthrob, she has to agree to date him for one month. So Michelle is tossed into the spotlight and forced to adapt to a new lifestyle, and it all starts with her new fake boyfriend, Chase Matthews. * REWRITTEN * [Written & Completed - July 2018] [Fully Rewritten - 2023] awards & recognition: - #1 in drama - 05/19/2021 - #1 in lose - 08/20/2021 - #1 in kissing - 03/14/2022 - #2 in game - 11/07/2021 - #4 in teen - 05/23/2021
