The first three books in Diana Bold's UNMASKING PROMETHEUS series. MASKED INTENTIONS Adrian Strathmore is a reclusive genius by day. However, by night, he is a masked avenger named Prometheus, rescuing unfortunate children from lives of prostitution. Horribly burned as a child, he loves the anonymity of his mask. Vanessa Bourke, the famous actress, is fascinated by both Adrian Strathmore, who throws flowers at her feet but remains in the shadows, and Prometheus, the masked man who shows up in her flat in the middle of the night with a small boy he's saved. When she discovers they are one and the same, she begs him to unmask himself, to no avail. He is willing to lose her forever rather than trust her to love him despite his scars. Frustrated, she blackmails Adrian into marrying her, ruining his trust. Will he ever believe she's come to love the man behind the mask? MASKED PROMISES When Lucien Strathmore, the Earl of Hawkesmere, sets out to find his abducted little sister, he finds the woman he'd once loved instead. Serenity Pratt had been the gamekeeper's daughter, and they'd spent one magical summer together, but then she'd disappeared without a trace. Now, she's back in his life and he must deal with the tragedy she's been hiding. In order to solve the mystery that tore them apart, he must take up the mask of Prometheus, the masked avenger he and his brothers created to deal with their troubled childhood. But what he finds forces him to make an untenable decision. MASKED DESIRES The last of the Strathmore brothers, Morgan, who lost his wife at the hands of the Earl of Winters, retreats into his art where he once found solace. But when the masked vigilante, Prometheus, returns to prowl the darkest corners of the East End, Morgan discovers that neither of his brothers is behind the mask. Perplexed by this new Prometheus and determined to get to the bottom of this mystery, his search for the daring imposter leads him to Fiona Bohannan, who runs the orphanage where Prometheus takes the rescued children. Fiona won't reveal Prometheus's identity, but Morgan finds purpose in helping Fiona and the children.By day, Fiona is the caring headmistress of the orphanage. By night, she secretly dons the mask and cape to continue the work of Prometheus. Dodging Morgan's questions, she tells him so many lies that it soon becomes impossible to tell him the truth. As the sparks fly between them, she continues to play her dangerous game in order to rescue innocent children from a terrible fate. But when she is captured, d?j? vu rears its ugly head. Will Morgan lose the new love of his life as well, or will the Strathmore brothers band together to defeat the evil Earl of Winters, once and for all?
