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.

If anyone had ever told me that I'd be pregnant with a thug's baby, I would have never believed you. My life had been great. I was living in the Upper West Side with my mother and baby sister, maintained good grades, kept to myself, and enjoyed playing basketball. During the middle of junior year, I was discovered by the "mean girls" of the school and they saw me as their next recruit. So, I joined them. And since then, my life turned upside down. The night after graduation, we went to a party in the Lower East Side. I wasn't planning to do anything "risky", but after a couple drinks and an awkward encounter, I found myself in bed with the son of one of the biggest drug lords in Manhattan. A few weeks later ... I found out , what my new reality was.
