Alternative Plot: The film finds Tessa and Hardin living separate lives after Hardin published his revealing book without her knowledge.

Rather than give in to his demons, Hardin starts to realize that the only way to move forward--and have any chance of winning back Tessa--is to right wrongs from his past. He travels to Portugal to visit Natalie, a woman he once treated terribly. By spending time with Natalie and realizing she has moved on, Hardin is finally able to forgive himself and envision a bright future with the woman he loves. Meanwhile, back in the States, Landon and Nora prepare for their upcoming wedding--where Tessa and Hardin will be in attendance.
