After

Tessa is a decent girl who lives at home with her loving, trustworthy boyfriend. She has ambition, direction, and a mother who wants to see her stay that way.

However, she hasn't even settled into her freshman room when she encounters Hardin. Hardin stands out from her usual crowd with his unkempt brown hair, cheeky British accent, tattoos, and lip ring.

However, he is also quite impolite—even harsh. Despite his attitude, Tessa ought to despise Hardin. And she does, up to the point when she is in his room by herself. She is drawn to something about his menacing demeanor, and when they kiss, she feels a passion she has never experienced before.

He will repeatedly call her lovely, then claim he isn't the right person for her, and then he will go. Tessa is forced to look beyond his careless behavior toward her and discover the true Hardin behind all of his falsehoods. He repeatedly pushes her away, but each time she tries to move away, he merely draws her in closer.

Tessa already has the ideal partner in her life. Why then is she making such a big effort to get past Hardin's prejudice against good females like her and her own wounded pride?

Unless...Is this a sign of love?
