He's the villain in the tale. The man who committed the most heinous of crimes. A monster of the highest order. He reigned supreme, seemingly unstoppable, until his power was stolen from him. Brendan Taylor, the politician's only son, was tried and convicted for the damage he wrought, then jailed in the prime of his life. Yet, he still couldn't walk away from her. Madelaine O'Brien, daughter of the President of the Black Shamrocks MC, was never on his radar. Their lives were on different trajectories until she captured his attention one fateful day and never let it go. It was as if the clouds parted and he saw the sun in all its glory for the first time in his regimented life. In that instant, she became his—and he would do anything to keep it that way. His fate was sealed by his own actions. Or so it seemed. Because little did he know, there was a plan put in place years ago. One that he wasn't privy to; even though, his participation was paramount. Its success rested on his victory. On the one thing that Madelaine awoke within him. A man with a singular appetite. A hunger that had him craving control. Craving Control is a companion story to the Black Shamrocks MC series. This is not a love story and it doesn't end in a neat bow. At its essence, Craving Control is the story of a broken man and his fixation on the only person to ever capture his affection. A tale of depravity, rage, and just the tiniest bit of sociopathic love... enter at your own risk. PLEASE NOTE: this book was originally published in 2018 under the same title.
