author's note
Hello!
This story is a stand alone sequel to my other work, Bruised Knuckles.
It can be read alone or secondary as a sequel. This book follows most of the main characters, five years later. Because of that it is not at all teen fiction, but more romance/adult based. See below for list of warnings!
I really hope you enjoy it. It's been eight years since I completed Bruised Knuckles. Absolutely insane. I'm much older and my writing style has evolved a bit, but I tried my best to stay true to these characters that I love.

Five years later. Four unanswered letters.
So much inbetween.
After the tragic passing of his parents in a plane crash, Orion returns home to visit New Jersey, where his childhood home once stood.
But there's more than that—his first love. What will happen if their paths collide again? Can love outweigh betrayal?
***
Trigger warnings:
Trauma
Death
Alcohol
It's marked mature for:
Swearing

Oh! And to settle a debate, Orion's name is pronounced "Or-ian" and not "O-ryan" which is more common.
Thank you for beginning to read! I appreciate every single one of you.
