Good Behavior: An MM Forbidden Romance (Wild Heart Ranch Book 2)

From USA Today Best-Selling Author Kelly Fox comes a spicy forbidden romance between an ex-con and his prison therapist.

There’s not much I miss about prison, save for the buttoned-up therapist who doled out subtle commands and generous praise in equal measure. We never spoke of the crackling tension between us, but every time he straightened my posture or called me a good boy, we knew what was going on.

Now, over a year after my early release for good behavior, we find ourselves in the same small Texas town, connected to the same ranch, appropriately named Wild Heart.

As our sexy, unspoken dynamic fires up again, we become involved with the ranch’s secret mission—to rescue and support people who’ve been trafficked. Between harrowing missions and our escalating passions, there’s no way for us to stop what’s coming next.

And we don’t want to.

Good Behavior is a slightly murderous forbidden romance that features a a heavily tattooed ex-con, a therapist who knows better, and a whole lot of bad behavior.

Wild Heart Ranch is a spin-off of the Rebel Sky Ranch series. All of my series have crossover elements but can be enjoyed on their own. Fair warning—you may find yourself wanting the backstory.

No cliffhangers (save for the sneak peek at the end), and the HEA is always guaranteed. #murderswoon

BEFORE WE BEGIN

I had a lot of fun writing this book, but I’ll be honest, I had a completely different story arc in mind for these guys when I started. Somewhere along the way, a dynamic cropped up—no whips or chains or humiliation, just a few commands mixed in with some crackling sexual tension—and I was off to the races.

Whereas Sworn Enemy was all about the redemption arc, Good Behavior is for the buttoned-up rule-followers who find themselves inexplicably drawn to highly inappropriate things.

I can relate. The series ain’t called Wild Heart for nothing.

Content notes:

First and foremost, this is a forbidden romance between an ex-con and his former prison therapist. No aspect of their relationship—including the way they initially handle their dynamic—would ever be okay in real life.

Additionally, these two liberally switch between using each other’s informal and formal names, depending on where they are in their heads. Hint: when Bram starts calling Nacho by his given name, things are about to heat up.

The secondary storyline involves saving victims of human trafficking and kidnapping. While I was mostly circumspect about their experiences, the awful things they survived and their impacts are named, including forced surrogacy and varying kinds of assault. Additionally, Ant is really going through it in this book and drops some pretty horrifying details in an effort to get people to take him seriously.

Finally, one of the characters is blatantly racist, and while she doesn’t use racial epithets, she says Ant’s and Nacho’s presumed nationality like it is one.

Spoiler alert: She’s not getting a redemption arc.

To Burns.

I made the bad guys hurt a little extra just for you.
