The Ogre Comes Home
An Extended Epilogue
Trenton Wells remembers everything now.
86 pages · Out October 13, 2026 · Free in Kindle Unlimited
The family that loves him. The years of forgetting. And the man who followed him through seven separate lifetimes without once giving up.
So coming home should be the easy part, but Trenton can't stop tallying the cost. The fifteen years of life Hilary spent chasing him. A body that still flinches at the wrong touch. And an arm that aches when it rains, a permanent reminder of the night that shattered them both.
Hilary doesn't want his guilt, he wants his ogre — whole, present, and done apologizing for the things that were never his fault.
The Ogre Comes Home is the story about what happens after the rescue, and the fumbling, fierce, and sometimes ridiculous work of re-building a life with the only person who matters.
