After the stormy start of their relationship, Tessa and Hardin had almost found a way to make it work.
Tessa knew that Hardin could be tough, but when a revelation about the beginning of their relationship—and about Hardin's mysterious past—drops like a bomb, Tessa loses the ground beneath her feet.
Hardin will always be... Hardin. But is he really the boy with depth and interest, despite his superficial anger, that Tessa fell madly in love with, or has he been a stranger all along? Tessa wishes she could leave. It's not that easy. Not as long as she remembers the passionate nights spent in his arms. The electricity from his touch. His insatiable kisses. Nevertheless, Tessa is not sure she can endure another broken promise. She has put too many things on the back burner for his sake—school, friends, her mother, a relationship with a boy who truly loved her, perhaps even a promising new career. She needs to move on with her life.
Hardin knows he made a mistake, perhaps the biggest of his life.
He won't give up without a fight. But can he change? Will he change... for the sake of love?
