Tessa O'Connell is a girl as in love as possible. For a moment she had
it all: friends, family, and the promise of a forever love. But could
she end up losing it all? The crippling pain of heartbreak is fresh, and
as Tessa struggles to move on in the wake of tragedy, her goal becomes
to protect her heart at all costs. But it's a task not made easy by the
devastatingly gorgeous Cole Stone, who seems to have shattered her
beyond repair.
As Cole and Tessa manage to find their way back to one another, they
embark on yet another new chapter in their lives. While attempting to
navigate her first year of college, it becomes apparent to Tessa that
everyone has their eyes set on Cole Stone. When status quo, clingy
college girls, old insecurities, and her slightly neurotic tendencies
cause her to question whether she can actually make the relationship
work, it's up to Cole to show her that he's never letting go, not again.
But even for Cole Grayson Stone it's not easy to convince his Shortcake
of his never ending devotion as time apart, communication problems, and
a quirky new group of friends start to unravel the delicate thread that
binds the two together. Can the boy who once protected her from the
world protect Tessa from herself?
Warning: The book comes with a bad boy desperate to win back the love of
his life. He's going to fight dirty and he's willing to go down on his
knees and beg. If you thought Cole Stone was swoon-worthy before, wait
till you see him get the girl.
