after

There was a time before she met Tessa Harden, and then there's everything after.

Life will never be the same again...

Tessa is a good girl, with a kind and reliable boyfriend back home. She has a clear vision and ambition, and a mother determined to keep it that way. But she's barely moved into her first college dorm when she runs into Hardin, her mother's worst nightmare. With his messy brown hair, irresistible British accent, tattoos, and lip ring, Hardin is undeniably attractive, but he's very different from what Tessa is used to.

But he's also rude—to the point of cruelty. Tessa should hate Hardin, and she does... until she finds herself alone with him in his dorm. His dark moods overwhelm her, and when they kiss, a passion she's never known before ignites inside her... He'll call her beautiful, then insist he's not the one for her and disappear without a word. Despite his reckless treatment of her, Tessa is forced to dig deeper to find the real Hardin behind all his lies. He pushes her away again and again, but each time she pushes him away, she ends up being drawn further. Will Tessa risk everything for someone she can't trust? #Hessa Anna Todd's fantasy novels have reached a billion reads online and captivated readers around the world.
