Shane by Linzi Basset

Shane Sinclair learned young that regret always came too late and with it fear resonated. Fear of making those same mistakes all over again.

“I’m not your normal sadist, little one.” He tapped his finger against her nose. “You’d do well to remember that.”
Time brought healing and with it, the urge to unleash the devil sadist he’d kept locked inside for years … He’d found the one woman who was strong enough to feed his desires in the sassy and sensual Alexa Silver, but would he allow himself to fully unleash the beast upon her?

Only time would tell.

Alexa Silver had been drawn to the elusive Master Fox since she first set foot on The Seven Keys Island. She’d played along with his cat and mouse game for years but had all but given up hope that one day he’d realize she was it for him.

“The question is—what are you gonna do about it, Master Fox?”
It was time to take matters into her own hands and make him see she was the kind of woman—the masochist he needed. Her only concern, did she have what it took?

Only time would tell.

As the two lovers strove to find a balance between their secrets and mutual trust, an unwelcome shared ghost from their past resurfaced … one that decimated Alexa’s safe harbor at Castle Sin. Running away wasn’t an option—not again. This time, she had something to fight for.

The struggle was exacerbated by the ever present danger of the SPEONUS Order that now sought cold blooded revenge. Would the Sinclair cousins manage to foil the Order’s attempts to bring them to their knees once again? And would those they cherished most get caught in the crosshairs?

Only time would tell.
