Craving Control

Please note that this addition to the series is not a traditional romance novel. It is a brutal, one-sided, "love" story-the tale of one man's battle against his obsessive tendencies and one woman's fight to survive him.

"I would fight of course... better to destroy everything than surrender her." ~Vladimir Nabokov~

OBSESSED. He hunted her.
DESPERATE. He blackmailed her.
RUTHLESS. He refused to back down.

Alexander Kingsley is fixated on two things. Revenge and Lilianna Mayberry. Only she's not quite as enamoured with him and his need to control her.

When Alex discovers that Anna isn't as meek and innocent as he first suspected, his pursuit turns into a fight to the death. After all, in a world where the Maddison clan and the Black Shamrocks MC are natural-born enemies, there were only two possible ways for this to end…

Kill or be killed.

This 90,000-word novel is a prequel to Bella Faust's Black Shamrocks MC: Australia series. It sets the scene for the extended series, although it can be skipped all together, should the reader be triggered by graphic depictions of violence against women told from the perpetrator's POV.

** Please note that parts of this story have been previously published under the title "Craving Control" as Kylie Hillman in 2018 and "Fear & Fidelity" as Bella Faust in 2022.
