Description

From award-winning author Diana Bold, MASKED INTENTIONS is the first book in UNMASKING PROMETHEUS, a new series set in the glittering world of Victorian England, where secrets abound and passions ignite.

Adrian Strathmore, a reclusive genius haunted by his past, leads a double life. By day, he is an enigmatic genius, revered for his intellect and eccentricity. But it is under the cover of darkness that he becomes Prometheus, the masked avenger who rescues innocent children from the clutches of a merciless underworld. Scarred both inside and out, he finds solace in his hidden identity and the noble purpose it serves.

Vanessa Bourke, a beautiful actress, finds herself drawn to both Adrian Strathmore, the elusive figure who showers her with tokens of admiration, and Prometheus, the enigmatic hero, not realizing they are one and the same. Consumed by her desire to know the man behind the mask, Vanessa pleads for him to reveal himself, to trust in her love despite his scars. But Adrian, deeply wounded and guarded, fears the vulnerability that accompanies unmasking his true self. Determined not to risk his heart, he pushes her away, willing to lose her forever rather than face the possibility of rejection.

Desperate to break through Adrian's defenses and prove the depths of her affection, Vanessa resorts to an audacious act of blackmail. With their lives forever changed, they enter into a marriage built on deceit and shattered trust. As their relationship evolves and Vanessa's love for Adrian deepens, she struggles to mend the bonds she has broken and convince him that her feelings are genuine.

Amidst the grandeur and splendor of Victorian society, Adrian and Vanessa embark on a tumultuous journey of self-discovery, forgiveness, and the healing power of true love. Will Adrian find the courage to unmask not only his scars but also his heart, allowing Vanessa to see the man he truly is? Or will the shadows of their pasts forever keep them apart?

    English Regency romance with everything expected from that, however the protagonist male is a vigilante fighting child sexual slavery! Little thriller in here also.

    Well developed story line and characters. This book has more depth than most of the romance novels I’ve read. Beware of the TW though if you’re someone who has suffered any kind of SA. There are no serious details of it, but the implications are there and could be triggering to those who have dealt with that sort of trauma. All in all a well written novel.
