After Ever Happy

It's never been all rainbows and sunshine for Tessa and Hardin, but each new challenge they've faced has only made their passionate bond stronger and stronger. But when a revelation about the past shakes Hardin's impenetrable facade to the core and then Tessa suffers a tragedy, will they stick together or be torn apart? As the shocking truth about each of their families emerges, it's clear the two lovers are not so different from each other. Tessa is no longer the sweet, simple, good girl she was when she met Hardin, any more than he is the cruel, moody boy for whom she fell so hard. Tessa understands all the troubling emotions brewing beneath Hardin's exterior, and she knows she's the only one who can calm him when he erupts. He needs her. But the more layers of his past come to light, the darker he grows, and the harder he pushes away Tessa and everyone else in his life. Tessa's not sure if she really can save him without sacrificing herself. She refuses to go down without a fight. But is she fighting for Hardin or herself?
