Chaotic: A Novella

Kelley Armstrong returns to the Otherworld with "Chaotic," where a half-demon tabloid journalist's boring date is saved...by a supernatural explosion? She's off to save the day—if only her less-than-stellar date wouldn't tag along! Luckily, the intriguing, infuriating, and just plain sexy werewolf/jewel thief Karl Marsten also appears.

Hope's supernatural radar leads her straight to a museum heist in progress. Cornering the thief seems simple enough—until a dead guard proves someone far deadlier is hunting them both!

A ruthless Cabal sorcerer has sealed the exits, forcing the pair into an alliance. Crawling through dusty air ducts beats making small talk—even if trusting a handsome predator is playing with danger!

• Forced Proximity: Wedged behind an African savanna diorama, Hope and Karl find their mutual attraction flaring in the tightest corners.
• Morally Grey Hero: Karl Marsten is a ruthless Pack werewolf and an unrepentant thief who pockets antique museum jewels while casually negotiating his way out of handcuffs.
• Race Against Time: Facing a fire-flinging guard who turns replica scrolls into deadly torches, Hope has to rely on her chaotic instincts to stay one step ahead of an execution squad.
• Slow Burn: Despite trading barbs about her blinding dress and his criminal habits, Hope cannot deny the electric pull toward an intriguing rogue who matches her stride for stride.
