Club Wicked Cove #5
Claimed: Parnell's Gift
They made her a victim . . .
Parnell Oliver is an enigma; a celebrated war veteran with a checkered conscience. Being a Dom at Club Wicked Cove is a role he plays with aplomb. But there’s something he's been denying himself for long—Kacie Harris. She’s gorgeous, alluring and . . . his friend’s baby sister.
Kacie has lived in the eye of the storm all her life. Her invisible scars have never healed. She's been broken beyond repair. Or so she thinks. Until, Parnell pulls her out of a hellhole, literally and figuratively. For Kacie, Parnell is the only hope. He's her angel, albeit with a broken wing. At Kacie's behest, Parnell concedes to becoming her mentor—his idea of sweetest hell.
Parnell has to put Kacie together again. Piece by piece . . . touch by touch . . . kiss by kiss . . .
Will Kacie be able to rise above the devastation of her past? Will Parnell be able to mend the most beautifully broken girl, ever?
As the mystery about their faceless enemy unfolds, a treacherous plot comes to light. The Occhipinti family has a closet full of skeletons, just raring to dance. All hell is about to break loose.
The enemy better watch out. Kacie is a victim no more.
She is a deadly weapon.

About the author
Linzi Basset
144 books817 followersAuthor pseudonyms - Isabel James, Kimila Taylor
“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 she is also a bestselling fiction writer of suspense filled romance erotica books; who as the latter, refuses to be bound to any one sub-genre. She prefers instead to stretch herself as a storyteller which has resulted in her researching and writing historical and even paranormal themed works.
Her initial offering: Club Alpha Cove, a BDSM club suspense series released back in 2015, reached Amazon’s Bestseller list, and she has been on those lists ever since. Labeling her as prolific is a gross understatement as just a few short years later she has now been published over a hundred times.
“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. So, if you're looking for spicy and suspenseful, I'm your girl... woman... writer... you know what I mean!"
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.”
Find her also on amazon.com/author/isabeljames in a collaboration of emotional and spiritual tales of discovery written in rich prose.

Kacoe has been kidnapped not once but twice by the same man. She was raped and brutalized but the second timer the man behind the kidnappings revealed himself. He thought she would die rather than be rescued. Parnell did rescue her and annihilated the entire island in the process. Revenge is now Kacie's number one priority and she refuses to tell anyone the identity of kidnapper. She's finally ready to quit being a victim and live her life to the fullest.
Kacie has loved Parnell practically since the day she was born. What she doesn't know is that he loves her too. She wants him to teach her about intimacy and sexuality. Through infinite patience Parnell shows Kacie what real intimacy and love making is about. They declare their love for one another but there is one problem. She won't tell him who her kidnapper is which means she does not trust him 100%.
The truth is finally revealed and revenge is taken. Colt Fargo gets one step closer to bringinf down the Occhipinti family as a result. The end is in sight. Kacie and Parnell's relationship is solid and they find their happiness together.

Intrigue and Desire!
The same suspenseful drama as the previous books in the series! Linzi b is excellent at building the suspense and giving just a few hints and screws along the way to keep the reader on their toes. She is amazing at creating the intimate stories of each couple as they find their soul mate, while continuing the dark intrigue that holds all the characters together and showing how each couple fights to overcome their nemesis' and come out the victors. She continues to grab the reader by her segue into a new mystery that challenges the reader and draws them back to the next book in the series. I will miss the characters after the next book. Live to read your work Linzi! Thank you for your writing that gives me escape into a world that I think would fulfill my sexual needs, but having not had the opportunity to delve into the BDSM lifestyle when I was younger, I feel my chance to experience it is over for me as I turn 53 next year. So, I read about it through authors like you! Thanks again!

Claimed: Parnell’s Gift
This is such a great read. There’s so much suspense and action in this story. The mafia is still after Colt but Parnell and Kacie have to be on their guard everywhere they go.
Kacie knows now who had her captive years ago, and holds that truth close to her, without telling anyone. But soon she has to tell someone who is after her and her brother Seth.
It’s a fantastic read, sure to keep you on the edge of your seat. There’s love, anger, passion, sex and some violence. But they deserved what they get. No holds barred. Loved it ❤️🔥❤️🔥

Great BDSM book
This is an exciting BDSM book with a lot of suspense and dangerous action as well as a lot of BDSM action. Besides we have quite a bit of steamy scenes as well. You are sure to love this story if you like BDSM and suspense together. Really good story, but be warned it ends on a cliffhanger. The next book is the final volume of the series so we find out how every thing is then.

Claimed: Parnell's Guilt
Once again Linzi Bazzet has outdone herself with another great story. I have followed these from the first and loved every one of them. I highly recommend this series even though it is on the darked side.

This is the 5th book in the series & it does not disappoint, full of suspense & steamy sex add that to the bdsm elements it makes for a hot read.
Parnell believes it is his fault that things happen to Kacie as he did not claim her years ago. Kacie to loves Parnell (though he is currently unaware) through the bad times he has been there to rescue her.
Kacie believes she is broken and with her past you can understand why she feels this way. Parnell decides to make his love known & bring her into the light to help help her become the woman she is meant to be, can he do it? I really enjoyed this book as much as the rest of the series & I highly recommend it, anxiuously awaiting the next one.

This was probably my favorite book of the series. Seth is on his honeymoon and Parnell intercepts an email about Seths sister Kacie being abducted again. He rescues her and takes her home. The mafia just won't quit it seems. This one is full of love but the danger is still all around them and only Kacie know just how close to home it is. She confides that little bit to Parnell and he helps her with it. This is such an awesome book in such an amazing series by a truly wonderful author. Just make sure to read them in order!
