They wrote the children's classic Tales from Shakespeare together, ran a literary agency, and had a salon frequented by Coleridge, Wordsworth, Hazlitt and Godwin. However, the Lambs' popularity existed in the shadow of Mary's recurring bouts of mania and depression and she was incarcerated in a mental institution for several months of each year.

Book Description
Her Devil's Kiss is book 7 in Club Devil's Cove Series. A woman scorned is one thing … but what about a Dom? Governor Alex White “You had the freedom of choice and you chose to be my sub. But you’re not free from the consequences of that decision.” Pamela is a siren on stilettos, and Governor Alex White is torn between the formidable Domme and the memory of her as a sweet submissive. Her scent is ingrained in his soul, but he must come to terms that it’s time to move on. He won't be used anymore, and he has no intention of falling for her same sensual trap. But that’s easier said than done. Especially when she worms her way into his house and is underfoot everywhere he turns. When fate steps in and she’s forced to become his trainee sub, the devil in him stirs to life his ravenous hunger. The hunt is on as he sets out to make her the slave to his desires. He’s in control now … or is he? Attorney Pamela Seeger “No, you didn’t, but you did invite me to anything in the house I’m hungry for. And I’m very … very hungry for you … Master Rage.” She's lived in limbo for the past four years, kept afloat by being close to the only man who has ever captured her heart and the one man she won't allow herself to have. It isn't fair to him, but that isn't her fault. If he wasn't so damn gorgeous, she might have stopped longing for what could have been long ago. When regret and hindsight threaten to destroy her only chance at happiness, she refuses to give up. As the battle of lust and love ensues she insists on fighting for what she deserves … but is it too late? Alex and Pamela must find the trust and resilience to survive the wave of destruction that threatens not just their happiness but their lives. The devastation left by the Sixth Order shattered the Precision Secure team. Losing one of their best friends left them vulnerable and simultaneously awakened their wrath. Now that the mighty leaders of the syndicate have had a taste of victory, they surge forward, more determined than ever. The real war has just begun as secret plots are revealed, traitors infiltrate enemy territory, the death toll rises, and not everyone or everything is as it seems. Editor's Note: Hot damn! Some of these chapters deserve to be read twice and thrice … because you might just lose your place as you … enjoy yourself. And if 'those' chapters don't have you salivating and sitting at the edge of your seat, the suspense and mysteries revealed WILL! Basset never EVER disappoints in the hot and heavy or the violence and dramatics! Total win win! Although each couple achieves their HEA in every book they should be read in order for best reader experience as there is a back storyline throughout the series.
