“Even though I don’t deserve her—not now, not ever—I can’t see myself letting her go.” Beyond these prison walls an entire life waits. A daughter I barely know. A twin brother I miss. A lifetime of penance to be paid. But regret consumes me, and what-if’s haunt me. How do you forgive the irreversible errors of a boy, trying too hard to be a man? Emerson Lane. She’s my how. Warm. Passionate. Unexpected. She’s everything good in this world. She makes me feel dangerous things. Hopeful things. Redemption isn’t something I thought I’d ever find. Until the keeper of my second chance found me.
