Hardin knows he made a mistake, possibly the biggest one of his life. She put so much on hold for Hardin-school, friends, her mom, a relationship with a guy who really loved her, and now possibly even a promising new career. Still, Tessa’s not sure she can endure one more broken promise. Not with the memory of passionate nights spent in his arms. But is he really the deep, thoughtful guy Tessa fell madly in love with despite his angry exterior, or has he been a stranger all along? She wishes she could walk away. She knew he could be cruel, but when a bombshell revelation is dropped about the origins of their relationship-and Hardin’s mysterious past-Tessa is beside herself. After a tumultuous beginning to their relationship, Tessa and Hardin were on the path to making things work. AFTER WE COLLIDED…Life will never be the same. So why is she trying so hard to overcome her own hurt pride and Hardin’s prejudice about nice girls like her? Unless…could this be love? There was the time before Tessa met Hardin, and then there’s everything AFTER … Life will never be the same. He pushes her away again and again, yet every time she pushes back, he only pulls her in deeper. Despite the reckless way he treats her, Tessa is compelled to dig deeper and find the real Hardin beneath all his lies. He’ll call her beautiful, then insist he isn’t the one for her and disappear again and again. Something about his dark mood grabs her, and when they kiss it ignites within her a passion she’s never known before. And she does-until she finds herself alone with him in his room.

For all his attitude, Tessa should hate Hardin.

But he’s also rude-to the point of cruelty, even. With his tousled brown hair, cocky British accent, and tattoos, Hardin is cute and different from what she’s used to. But she’s barely moved into her freshman dorm when she runs into Hardin. She’s got direction, ambition, and a mother who’s intent on keeping her that way.

#Hessa Tessa is a good girl with a sweet, reliable boyfriend back home. There was the time before Tessa met Hardin, and then there’s everything AFTER… Life will never be the same.
