Writers aren’t supposed to have favourite characters, apparently. But of course we do. In The Boy Who Belonged, the sequel to The Good Boy, if there was any secondary character that deserved their own subplot, it was this guy:

Mr. Zimmerman.

In The Boy Who Belonged, Lane and Derek get to babysit Mr. Zimmerman over Christmas. Chaos ensues. Then hilarity. But mostly chaos. And obscene language.

And it got us to thinking: what’s Mr. Zimmerman’s story? We know he’s a foul-mouthed macaw. We know he’s named after his previous owner. And we know that no right-thinking person in the world would ever adopt this bird. Which is why it makes sense that Christy, Derek’s sister, would have taken him in almost immediately when he arrived at her animal shelter. We came up with this backstory:

  

 And that’s the story of how Mr. Zimmerman came to live with Christy!

Twenty-one-year-old Lane Moredock finally has a normal life. Six months after he was wrongly made a suspect in his parents' ponzi scheme, he's settled down with his older boyfriend, Derek, and is working and attending school. But his happiness is threatened when his mother launches a Christmastime PR campaign to help appeal her prison sentence, and asks introverted Lane to be part of it.

Derek Fields has his hands full taking Santa photos, bird-sitting his sister's foul-mouthed macaw, and helping Lane prepare for a television interview neither of them wants him to do. As he eases Lane through his anxiety, he worries that Lane sees him as a caretaker rather than a boyfriend, and that their age difference really does matter. He and Lane compensate for the stress in their lives by taking their D/s relationship to new levels--a relationship that Lane's mother insists he should be ashamed of.

As Christmas draws nearer, the pressure builds. Pushy elves. Snarky subs. A bad fight. A parrot in peril. How the hell is Derek going to give Lane a perfect Christmas when the Moredock legacy threatens to pull them apart before the new year?

The Boy Who Belonged is available from Loose Id today!
