There was the time before Tessa met Hardin, and then theres everything AFTER . . . Tessa is a good girl with a sweet, reliable boyfriend back home. Shes got direction, ambition, and a mother determined to keep her on course. But shes barely moved into her freshman dorm when she runs into Hardin, with his tousled brown hair, cocky British accent, and tattoos. Good looking, confident . . . and rather rude, even a bit cruel. For all his attitude and insults, Tessa should hate Hardin. And she doesuntil she finds herself alone with him in his room. Something about his dark mood grabs her, and when they kiss it ignites a passion shes never known before. He'll call her beautiful, then insist he isnt the one for her, making excuses and disappearing, again and again. Hell turn away, yet every time when she pushes back, hell only pull her in deeper. Despite the reckless way Hardin treats her, Tessa is drawn to his vulnerability, determined to unmask the real Hardin beneath all the lies. A good girl . . . a bad boy . . . something undeniable . . . and everything AFTER.
