About this ebook

Previously banned as an ebook on Amazon, Apple Books, and Draft2Digital, this 90,000-word dark and steamy psychosexual thriller is the prequel to Bella Faust's Duplicity Trilogy. A brutal “love” story, Craving Control, is the tale of one man's battle against his obsessive tendencies and one woman’s fight to survive him.


For years, my proclivity to torture the less fortunate for sport was Inadale’s best-kept secret.

I hazed. I hunted. I hurt whomever I wanted. It was my birthright as the grandson of an Irish mob boss and my natural-born talent as a diagnosed obsessive-compulsive with an antisocial personality disorder that manifests as psychopathic tendencies. Whereas my diagnosis was a mouthful, the list of my unpunished crimes was even longer.

I was the Crown Prince.

My status: Untouchable.

Until Lysander Mayberry mounted a rebellion that destroyed my knee and my reputation in one fell swoop…

Now, I’m a man on the search for vengeance, and I’ve found it in the form of Sander’s twin sister. She is outwardly innocent. Indifferent to the prestige attached to my last name. Clueless to the depravity of the underworld that our families inhabit.

The perfect pawn in our battle for supremacy.

After all, in a world where the Maddison clan and the Black Shamrocks MC are natural-born enemies, there are only two possible ways for this battle to end…

Kill or be killed.

This is a great view of the Duplicity Trilogy thru the eyes of one of the many Villains Alex. It helps to understand his character more even though he still is one of the many villains. I received a free copy of this book via Booksprout and am voluntarily leaving a review.

This is the dark and steamy psychological suspense thrilling prequel to the Duplicity Trilogy. We get a brutal obsessive love story between a psychopath obsessed with revenge on sweet Anna who is innocent. Anna's twin, Sander, cost Alex his dream, so "his monster" decided that she had to pay for that. However, Alex didn't count on how strong Anna would be and that she would fight him at every turn, which excites him. She even tells Alex that she doesn't want to see him again they're done, which sets off "his monster." I don't want to say anymore and ruin it for anyone else with spoilers. You really need to read this dark and steamy psychological suspense thrilling prequel to the Duplicity Trilogy to see what happens. I would recommend reading this book.

About the author

Bella Faust is a wife, mother, Harley enthusiast, metalhead, and voracious reader who’s obsessed with podcasts and 90s movies. When she's not writing, she tries her hardest to keep her indoor plants alive (and invariably fails), enjoys hiking in the bush with her husband and dogs, and communicates fluently via memes with her son and daughter. 

It’s likely that she’s drinking Pepsi Max, snacking on red liquorice, and reading a steamy romance novel when she should be writing… but, three to four times a year, she manages to publish a dark traudemption romance story that upsets the safety gang as much as it pleases her readers.
