Before The Fall: Book One
Book One - "Tessa Monroe and Hardin Scott" Series
Tessa Monroe never expected college in London to change everything. A rebellious British student with a sharp tongue and walls built high, she isn't looking for love-especially not with Hardin Scott, the seemingly good-natured American exchange student who suddenly finds his way into her world.
When a reckless bet dares Tessa to pursue him, she plays along, never anticipating how real it might begin to feel. Hardin is different from anyone she's ever known-steady, genuine, and impossibly patient with her guarded heart. Their playful banter turns into something deeper, and when Hardin surprises her with their first kiss, followed by an unguarded "I love you," Tessa's carefully constructed defenses begin to crumble.
But vulnerability has never come easy to her. Tessa wrestles with her own feelings, friends urging her to move faster than she's ready for. Still, she can't resist Hardin's pull. When they finally give in to each other, it feels like falling-dangerous and exhilarating-and for the first time, she sleeps peacefully in someone else's arms.
Yet secrets have a way of surfacing. When her friends expose the truth about the bet, Hardin's faith in her shatters. Left reeling, Tessa realizes too late that the game she never wanted to play has cost her the one person she never meant to lose.
Before The Fall is a story of reckless choices, unexpected love, and the fragile first steps toward trust-where one mistake could break everything apart.
