After 1 - Bozk – Todd Anna (2015)

Tessa is a well-mannered girl dating a nice, reliable boy. She has a clear goal in life, ambitions, and a mother who ensures it stays that way. However, on her very first day at college, she runs into Hardin, a boy with messy brown hair, a confident British accent, and a piercing in his lip, and he shatters all the ideals she had believed in until then. But Hardin is far from ideal. He is rude – even to the point of cruelty. Given his behavior, Tessa should hate him. And she does, until she finds herself alone with him in his room. One kiss is all it takes. In one moment, Hardin tells her how beautiful she is, but in the next, he insists that he is not the right one for her and pushes her away. Despite his reckless ways, Tessa feels an irresistible urge to penetrate deeper under his skin and discover the real Hardin beneath the layers of lies. Tessa has the perfect boyfriend. So why is she trying to overcome her own wounded pride and rid Hardin of his prejudices about good girls? Why does she allow him to hurt her? Could it be love? Tessa's life will never be the same again.
