Description:

Five years have passed since Juice's release from Stockton State Prison. After relocating himself to Denver, Colorado, he swore he was distance himself from his past and make every effort he could to move forward. If there was any way of doing that. He's still haunted by the things he's done. The things done to him. And then he found Lily, an abused and lost girl with barely a hope for a future after having endured a dark past. Through her, Juice hopes to attain some ounce of redemption.

Then he learns that an old nightmare from his past has just endured a fraction of what he, himself, went through during his time in prison. And something inside is tugging him back in that direction, though he doesn't know why and does not trust it. Can learning to forgive one of the worst monsters in his life help him move forward from his past? Or is Lily right and it will only open an even deeper wound?

Will monsters forever remain monsters? And is there such a thing as healing when the damage is so great?

Notes:

This series deals with the reality that Tully is a rapist and will not sugarcoat it. There will be later shipping, handled as delicately as possible, but I in no way advocate/romanticize rape or abusers and this in no way is meant to be a realistic scenario. This is purely fiction. If any of this subject matter bothers you, then please don't read.
