When a driven, alpha woman is forced by circumstance to participate in a shibari rope display, her inner submissive is unleashed in ways she never imagined possible. Shibari Master Roane is the epitome of "alpha", but when his assistant can no longer work their world-class suspension show, his eye turns toward the woman who hired him for her avant-garde BDSM festival. Ava only agreed to run the festival in memory of her late, emotionally-damaged brother. If she steps in as surrogate model for this expert suspension rigger, will her demons remain hidden behind the alpha wall she's managed to erect, or will Roane use his rope like an extension of those sexy fingers to strip away every protection until nothing is left, but Ava's naked truth? ALPHA SUBMISSIVE was previously published in the Not Vanilla series. This version has an updated cover and series name.
