From award-winning author Diana Bold, DARK INTENTIONS is the fourth book in UNMASKING PROMETHEUS.
In the shadows of Victorian London, where darkness conceals the truth and danger lurks at every turn, Lady Allison Croft and Inspector Quinn O'Brien are about to embark on a treacherous journey that will test their resolve and ignite forbidden desires.
Lady Allison, a fiercely independent heiress, has sworn off love and marriage, determined to control her own fate and protect her vast fortune. Devoting herself to philanthropy and helping those in need, she believes she has found contentment in a life devoid of romantic entanglements. But when the life of Polly, a young woman she's vowed to rescue, is brutally cut short, Lady Allison's world is shattered, and the call for justice becomes an all-consuming fire within her.
Inspector Quinn O'Brien, a dedicated officer of the law, has been captivated by Lady Allison's beauty and strength since the day he saved her from danger five years ago. Bound by duty, he has suppressed his growing attraction, focusing on his work and the pursuit of justice. However, when Polly's murder brings them together once more, Quinn can no longer deny the magnetic pull between them.
United in their quest for answers, Allison and Quinn delve into the dark underbelly of London, where secrets and malevolence thrive. As danger closes in around them, their shared determination to unveil the truth ignites a passion they can no longer deny. But their disparate worlds collide, leaving them to question if love can bridge the divide between a lady of privilege and a humble police inspector.
In a society where propriety and class distinctions dictate the rules, Lady Allison and Inspector Quinn must confront the whispers of scandal and the judgment of society. Will they find the strength to follow their hearts, or will the weight of their differences tear them apart? As their love is tested against the backdrop of danger and deceit, they must decide if they are willing to defy convention and forge a future together amidst the shadows of dark intentions.
