The original versions of Kylie Hillman's international bestselling Black Shamrocks MC series are now available in three handy volumes. This boxed set, Blood & Betrayal, contains Craving Control, Soothing Suffering, and Seizing Control. Readers are advised to exercise caution. CRAVING CONTROL 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. SOOTHING SUFFERING (only available in the Blood & Betrayal boxed set) With the woman he loves—the woman he failed—fading away before his eyes, Mikhail “Mad Dog” Kennedy knows he needs to do something drastic to save her. To save himself. If she flinches away from his touch one more time, his guilt-ridden heart is going to shatter into a million pieces. Madelaine O’Brien knows she’s drowning. The aftereffects of what happened to her are slowly killing her will to live; yet, she can’t find the strength to stop it. Keeping everything a secret is the only option. Her internal battle to fight off her feelings of contamination and shame is hard enough without needing to explain to the Black Shamrocks MC what really happened with her crazy ex-boyfriend. When Mik comes home and tosses her motorcycle helmet into her hands, declaring that they’re going to ride for as long as it takes for Maddi to open up to him, she realizes this is make-or-break. The trip is either going to push their relationship past the point of no return or it’s going to be their chance to set about soothing suffering. SEIZING CONTROL Is her crazy ex-boyfriend back for revenge or a second chance? Only daughter of the volatile President of the Black Shamrocks MC and long-suffering sister to four overprotective brothers, Madelaine O'Brien has survived circumstances that would have broken a lesser woman. Mikhail "Mad Dog" Kennedy is her salvation, her reward for continuing to fight, and the matching piece of her soul. With her life happy and on track, will the reappearance of the monster from her past be the event that finally breaks her? Or will he be the catalyst she needs to put it all behind her, once and for all? They say when life gives you lemons; make lemonade. What happens when life keeps sending you demons who refuse to stay buried? Do you lie down and taste the sourness of defeat or rise to the seemingly unwinnable challenge, and start seizing control?
