Good Boys Don’t Bite
Everybody loves Elliot Mercer.
At Bellweather University, Elliot is the kind of boy people trust without thinking twice. Charming. Brilliant. Sweet enough to remember your coffee order and dangerous enough to make sure you never realize how closely he was paying attention.
Ronan Vale knows better.
As Elliot’s older stepbrother, Ronan has seen every version of him: the perfect son, the effortless golden boy, the jealous little menace behind closed doors, and the man Ronan has been secretly loving despite knowing exactly how complicated that makes everything.
Then a Bellweather student disappears.
When a body is discovered and questions begin spreading across campus, the carefully separated pieces of their lives start colliding. Police are looking for answers. Someone is watching from the shadows. And a mysterious figure known only as Saint seems to know far too much about Elliot, Ronan, and the secrets they would do almost anything to protect.
The closer danger gets, the harder it becomes to tell where love ends and complicity begins.
Because Ronan has always known Elliot wasn’t quite as good as everyone thought.
He just never knew how bad his good boy could be.
Good Boys Don’t Bite is a dark M/M romance and psychological thriller about secret stepbrothers, obsession, murder, jealousy, possession, corruption, and the terrifying lengths someone will go to protect the person they love.
