"An exotically filthy, devastatingly beautiful story that will captivate and tease you long after the book is finished." -Audrey Carlan, New York Times bestselling author on Beautiful Liar

I'm known as the Black Widow because the desires I hide inside are pure poison.
I was a different person once. Faith, a young wife, hoping to become a mother. My life was pleasant. Stable. It was hell. Until Killian Knight opened my eyes to a world of espionage and intrigue. He saw something in me, something I was too afraid to acknowledge. I didn't want to be excited by the danger. Didn't want to crave the wicked passion only he could provide. But I did want, so now I run. And I pay.

I never meant to corrupt her, but I'm not sorry.
After all, I'm already damned.
After four years of searching and longing, I've finally found her. Faith, the one person in the world I breathe for. She lives beneath my skin as surely as I wear proof of our transgressions inked on my body. And like the forbidden fruit that doomed us from the beginning, our end is inevitable. We lived with no regret. We loved without inhibition. We betrayed those closest to us. We killed for that love. Now...we will burn in hell together.

About the Author

Zara Cox has been writing for almost twenty-five years but it wasn't until nine years ago that she decided to share her love of writing sexy, gritty stories with anyone outside her close family (the over 18s anyway!). This series is Zara's next step in her erotic romance-writing journey, and she would love to hear your thoughts. Visit her:

Another Great Read

September 13, 2017

Format: Kindle EditionVerified Purchase

I cannot believe how good this story is. It had mystery,it had excitement.
It was never confusing,very concise.
The deep emotion they shared,but both hesitant to voice their love.
There was a sweetness, but raw courage on continuing the fight of finding right for Faiths sister.There was purpose,and they found each other wholly at the end.
This whole series is wonderful.Thank you Ms. Cox

Very dramatic and suspenseful. It tears me up that I can only remember bits and pieces of the other books. This was very hard to put down. I didn't want to stop once I started.

This book was amazing! The storyline, the language all of it was flawless. I didn't give the book 5 stars because I felt as though the story ended pretty quickly. However, I really enjoyed the book. I highly recommend.

Review: Arrogant Bastard

September 21, 2017

Format: Kindle Edition

What a rush! Arrogant Bastard is fast-paced, smoking hot and loaded with the unexpected that had me struggling to put it down. Killian has been searching for Faith for over four years. She disappeared right after an assignment in Cairo taking his heart and leaving him with many unanswered questions. He is super geek smart and oh so sexy. Faith is a wounded soul but a mistress of her domain. assignment in Cairo really messed her up, leaving her soul scarred and running away from Killian. A hit on a CCTV has him rushing to New York to hunt her down and when he finds her, he’s never letting her go.

Ack! Where to begin. Killian is certainly arrogant but a bastard, no. Unlike the previous male leads in this series, at no time did I find myself disliking him. To be exact, you can’t help but fall for him from the beginning. Despite his tough and super smart façade, her leaving him has made him vulnerable. Faith aka Black Widow. AHA! Finally, we get to discover the mysterious B from Black Sheep. Hmm… I didn’t find her very BW-ish but instead a combination of strength and pain. You know from the very beginning despite their broken history, these two have a connection something beyond the physical. However, it is their physical they begin with and lordy do they burn up the pages. Have a fresh pair of panties nearby because they have four years of making up to do.

Now besides all the hot sex and mending of hearts between these two, there’s their past and what happened in Cairo which is mostly told in flashbacks. Cairo and what sent everyone undercover there in the first place is a disturbing subject matter. You know, one of those necessary evil plotlines to give the story something to go on. That’s at first what I thought until the impact of the who/what/whys all come to light. Now the big question is will we ever find out what and who Fionnella Smith is. Hello, mystery and intrigue!

I’ve been addicted to the series from the very beginning and even though I thoroughly enjoyed Arrogant Bastard, it did lack something that the previous books had. None of the lead characters had damaged and blackened souls. Yes, Killian did have some issues but not at the level of Axel and certainly not of Quinn’s. Same goes for Faith. Her pain is more recent. Their lack of damaging childhood trauma meant no edgy darkness to overcome. I would completely recommend to anyone Arrogant Bastard is a book worth reading, I would just point out it was more fast and sexy than dark and edgy.

I received this book from The JeepDiva prior to release with the express purpose of an honest review. The opinions, contents, and rating of this review are solely mine

A great "sleeper series"

September 14, 2017

Format: Kindle Edition

3.5 stars for - Arrogant Bastard - book three in the Dark Desire series by Zara Cox. This book can be read as a stand-alone, but we are introduced to the heroine of this story in Black Sheep book two of the series. As with all the books in this series there is a rather dark mood throughout so reader discretion is advised.
Faith Carson better known as Black Widow now is the manager at the punishment club. She has been in hiding for the last four years from her former life of secrets and shadows. She knows that people are after her and she has to run before it's too late to get away, but when the wrong people find out she is alive and well her life is in danger and there is only one person she can turn to for help.
Killian Knight is a ex-military computer genius / hacker that hasn't stopped looking for her for four long years. Now that he finally found her, he will do anything in his power to get to her before she disappears again. Killian will do whatever he has to do to protect the woman he loves and be the man she needs him to be regardless of the consequences.
This was an intense love story filled with mystery, intrigue and danger with non-stop action from start to finish. As one of my "sleeper series" from last year I'm glad it has continued on with a cast of incredible characters with interesting stories to tell
