Seizing Control: Heartbreak
(2024)(The third book in the Duplicity Trilogy series)
A novel by Bella Faust
A loyal sergeant. His broken duchess. The dead man. A duplicity of fatal consequence.
For Ezekiel “Venom” Miles, only two things in this world matter.
Lilianna Mayberry and the Black Shamrocks MC.
His woman and his club.
At least, that’s what he told himself.
The truth is a lot less flattering.
Venom’s pride has always mattered most.
Abandoned by his mother, indulged by the Shamrocks’ old ladies, and raised by his godfather to embrace his darker tendencies, Venom’s need to be top dog is paramount. He’s determined to prove that he’s the best man for Lily. He will show the doubters that he is the only logical candidate to step up as president of the Black Shamrocks.
It would’ve been easy, if only he wasn’t set up from the start to fail.
And fail… he did.
Spectacularly.
Nowadays, he has no club and no Lily… and no hope of returning to either in the foreseeable future. Until a surprise encounter reunites him with the woman he willingly deserted and Venom discovers that his pride has made a bigger mess of things than he ever thought possible.
Absence hasn’t made Lily’s heart grow fonder. Sure, passion still burns bright between them, but half of her heart now belongs to another man.
Determined to reclaim everything stolen from him, will Venom finally humble himself at the altar of love and imperfection? Or will his pride cause him to lose everything permanently this time?
This story is part one of the final book in the Duplicity trilogy. This realistically dark redemption romance is a steamy and taboo tale filled with angst, betrayal, and lust set within a love triangle destined to ally the Australian underworld… if only Slash, Lily, and Venom would stop keeping secrets from each other.
