Tessa thought she and Hardin had found their way past the chaos. She knew he could be cruel, but she believed she saw something deeper beneath his anger. Then someone reveals the truth about how their relationship really began. The revelation destroys everything Tessa thought she knew about Hardin and their connection. Hardin remains exactly who he has always been. Tessa wonders if the thoughtful person she fell for ever existed or if she loved a complete stranger. She wants to leave him behind, but memories of their passionate nights together make walking away impossible. His touch still sets her on fire. His kisses still consume her. Tessa has sacrificed everything for Hardin. She put school on hold, damaged friendships, hurt her mother, and walked away from someone who truly cared for her. Now a promising career opportunity hangs in the balance. She knows she must move forward with her own life. Hardin realizes he made the biggest mistake of his life. He refuses to give up without fighting for her. The question becomes whether he can actually change, and more importantly, whether he will change for love.
