But club owner Ruark Greer had other plans. From the moment he spotted the fiery beauty, he marked her as his own. Despite Courtney's desperate attempts to maintain her cover and keep her distance, his commanding presence awakened desires she couldn't ignore. Under his skilled hands, submission became a craving she could no longer deny.
As their passion deepened, something unexpected happened—the infamous beast found his darker urges softening in the light of her sass and spirit. But with dangerous forces circling and secrets between them, could their newfound connection survive?
Or would duty tear apart the healing they'd found in each other's arms?
"Isn't it a universal truth that it's our singular experiences and passion, for whatever thing or things, which molds us all into the individuals we become? Whether it's hidden in the depths of our soul or exposed for all to see?"
Linzi Basset is a South African born animal rights supporter with a poet's heart, and an international bestselling fiction author of suspense filled romance books; who as the latter, refuses to be bound to any one sub-genre. Her initial offering: Club Alpha Cove, a BDSM club suspense series released back in 2015, reached bestseller list, and she has been on those lists ever since.

"I write from the inside out. My stories are both inside me and a part of me so it can be either pleasurable to release them or painful to carve them out. I live every moment of every story I write.”
Linzi believes that by telling stories in her own voice, she can better share with her readers the essence of her being, her passionate nature; her motivations; and her wildest fantasies. She feels every touch as she writes, every kiss, every harsh word uttered, and this to her is the key to a never-ending love of writing.
Ultimately, all books by Linzi Basset are about passion. To her, passion is the driving force of all emotion, whether it be lust, desire, hate, trust, or love. This is the underlying message contained in her books. Her advice: "Believe in the passions driving your desires; live them; enjoy them; and allow them to bring you happiness.”
