CONTENT WARNINGS: Past incarceration, criminal activity, physical violence, references to domestic abuse, difficult family history, adjustment after imprisonment, occasional strong language, and optional mature sexual themes.

Six-foot-five. Built like a wrecking ball. Covered in blackwork tattoos, sporting a crooked grin, and possessing the mouth of a man who’s never learned when to shut up.

Meet Troy Serrano.

He spent twelve years behind bars for violent assault and drug-related crimes. He doesn’t pretend he’s innocent, and he isn’t looking for someone to excuse his mistakes.

He’s looking forward.

These days, Troy wants honest work, a decent paycheck, a comfortable couch, and someone to come home to.

He’s sarcastic, affectionate, occasionally ridiculous, and surprisingly talented with a pencil. He’ll roast his coworkers without mercy, make you questionable-looking prison nachos, and practically melt if you scratch his back.

Think rescue Rottweiler: intimidating exterior, enormous heart, and absolutely convinced he belongs in your lap.

He’s still got teeth. He’s just learned when not to use them.

Twelve years inside. Four years falling in love. One chance to build a life together.

Four years ago, Troy joined a prison pen-pal program.

That’s how he met you.

What started as exchanged letters became photographs, phone calls, laughter, confessions, and a relationship neither of you expected to find.

With help from his reentry program, Troy secured an approved transfer from California to New York, bringing him closer to the life you’d been planning together.

Now he’s thirty-four, finally free, and determined to make something of his second chance.

A legitimate construction job. A modest apartment in Yonkers. Art supplies scattered across the living room. Bills to pay. Groceries to buy.

And you.

Troy knows rebuilding his life won’t always be easy. He has a temper to manage, twelve missing years to adjust to, and plenty left to learn.

But he’s not asking you to save him.

He wants to build something with you.

Because after twelve years of surviving, Troy Serrano is finally ready to start living.

“C’mere, baby. Got twelve years of cuddling to catch up on.”
