Mafia rivals stranded together in a test of survival … and temptation.

I was too busy giving Renzo hell to notice we weren’t alone.
That was my bad.
But seriously, the domineering asshole was asking for it.

What followed felt like a drug-induced hallucination—
Captured at gunpoint, drugged, then taken hundreds of miles from home.

Who could have imagined our escape would only make things worse?

Stranded in an arctic wilderness, I’ve had no choice but to rely on him for survival.
His body’s warmth and well-honed strength. His instincts and persistence.

That sort of bond changes a person, which may be the most terrifying part of it all.
Because Renzo Donati wants far more from me than cooperation.
He’s hell-bent on claiming all of me.

But that can never be.
He can only ever be my rival.
Anything more, and I’ll lose everything.
My career.
My family.
My heart.

*Craving Chaos is the first book in the Moretti Malice series, which is a spin-off of the Byrne Brothers. Each book in the series features a different couple and can be read as a standalone with a happily ever after. A dark romance with adult themes, Craving Chaos may not be suitable for sensitive audiences.

A Note from the Author: Shae Byrne is such a badass character that she deserved an absolutely epic story, and thus was born Craving Chaos. Set aside your expectations, make sure your seatbelt is buckled, and prepare for the ride of your life. For those of you who are new to me, I write what I'd call "mafia lite." My heroes are hardened criminals with soft spots for their heroines. There may be violence and cruelty in my books, but never between the main characters. Enjoy!
