I slept with Rhodes Bishop before he became my stepfather.
One reckless night. One mistake I swore I’d forget. Then he married my mother, walked into my life with a sheriff’s badge on his chest and sin in his eyes, and made forgetting impossible.
So I left with his son.
Philip was safer. Younger. Easier to explain. Dating him meant I didn’t have to think about the way Rhodes looked at me across the dinner table, or the night he cornered me before I moved out and told me I’d regret choosing the wrong Bishop.
Three months later, I find Philip in bed with someone else, and my first thought isn’t heartbreak.
It’s Rhodes.
So I send the text I can’t take back.
You said you’d treat me better. Prove it.
Rhodes Bishop isn’t a good man. He’s the law in our small town, but everyone knows his justice happens behind locked doors, down empty roads, and far away from paperwork. He’s dangerous. Controlling. Possessive. The kind of man I should run from.
Except I already ran once.
And now that I’ve called him, he’s done waiting.
Badge of Ruin is a forbidden MM romance featuring an ex-stepfather sheriff, his son’s ex-boyfriend, a morally black protector, obsessive possession, small-town secrets, and a sweet brat who called the wrong man for revenge and got claimed instead. Books in the Forbidden Series can be read in any order and are not connected.
Genre: Gay Romance
