About this eBook

Everyone in Manhattan thinks they know everything there is to know about Lucian Prescott.

In his mid-forties, he’s a successful businessman, the founder and CEO of one of Manhattan’s largest hospitality companies, the Prescott Group. He’s sexy, rich, and one of the most eligible bachelors in the city. Very few people know just how dangerous he is. Because he’s also the head of the Kings of Hell’s Kitchen, a small, elite group of former mob members who are the lynchpin in Manhattan’s underground organized crime scene.

But Lucian has more secrets than just his criminal ties—like the fact that he’s been in love with Olivia Walsh for the past five years. Olivia, who is eighteen years younger than him and happens to be the daughter of Prescott Group’s biggest, most important investor. She’s completely off-limits, but that doesn’t stop him from wanting her. In his arms. His bed. His life.

He knows he needs to stay away from her, no matter how he feels about her—or how she feels about him. But staying away becomes impossible when Olivia’s ex—a man almost as dangerous as Lucian—begins stalking her, and he’ll do whatever it takes to keep her safe.  

He’ll burn down the entire city to protect the only woman he’s ever loved.

This is the book that most of Tara's reader's have been waiting for the elusive Lucian Prescott and wow it certainly didn't disappoint her reader's. This I book four in The Prescott's series and it is Lucian and Olivia's story and it was absolutely amazing and a must read. Lucian had given up so much of his soul to protect his family and he wouldn't have it any other way as they were the most important people in his life. Lucian also knew that he would never get a happy ending like his family had managed to achieve regardless of what they had all been through but he accepted that as long as he could be there for them, protect them and be there for anything that they need even though they had no idea what he did in his life and he wanted it to stay that way. Olivia studied to be a interior designer and now she was qualified she needed to add new designs to her portfolio to prove her worth and all she needed was for someone to give her a chance. Lucian and Olivia met when her dad have her a 21st birthday party at one of Lucian's club's but even though there chemistry was off the charts not she was eighteen years younger than him and not only couldn't be go there as her dad was one of the investors in his company but also be wouldn't put her in danger because of his life style so he would have to admire her from afar to keep her safe. There are many twists and turns along the way and the connection and chemistry between them is so strong that when they are together it is so hot that all I can say is wow mind your kindle doesn't melt and have a glass of something cold be side you as you are definitely going to need it to cool yourself down. I couldn't put this book down as it was so addictive that it keeps you on the edge of your seat wondering what will happen next. The characters and storyline pulled you in right from the first page and you had to keep reading until the last one and this book is a true masterpiece and my favourite book in this amazing series. Tara Wyatt is an amazing author and writer and I definitely recommend you read this book, series and other books by her and you will definitely not be disappointed as she certainly knows how to write a page turner and keep her reader's attention. I can't wait to read the books of The Prescott Cousin's, Helps Kitchen and hopefully Olivia's friend's as they seem a great and funny bunch. I Voluntarily Reviewed an Arc Copy of this Book.

BAD INTENTIONS is the fourth instalment in Tara Wyatt’s contemporary, adult THE PRESCOTTS erotic, Mafia, crime-world series focusing on the Prescott family. This is forty-five year old, CEO of the Prescott Group and head of the Kings of Hell’s Kitchen Lucian Prescott, and twenty-six year old, interior designer Olivia Walsh’s story line. BAD INTENTIONS can be read as a stand alone without any difficulty. Any important information from the previous story lines is revealed where necessary. WARNING: Due to the nature of the story line premise, there may be triggers for more sensitive readers. Told from dual third person perspectives (Lucian and Olivia) using present day and memories from the past, BAD INTENTIONS follows the forbidden, older man /younger woman romance and relationship between forty-five year old, CEO of the Prescott Group and head of the Kings of Hell’s Kitchen Lucian Prescott, and twenty-six year old, interior designer Olivia Walsh. Approximately five years earlier, Lucian Prescott fell in love with his business partner’s daughter, a woman eighteen years his junior, and thusly off limits. Over the next five years, Julian and Olivia would randomly meet at parties and get togethers but it is not until her father asks a favor does Julian know Olivia is now his for the claiming. But…when Olivia’s ex-boyfriend begins to demand everything and more, Julian becomes guardian and protector of the woman that calls to his heart. What ensues is the building romance and relationship between Julian and Olivia, and the potential fall-out when an assassin sets his sights on our story line heroine. Julian Prescott is the head of a group known as the Kings of Hell’s Kitchen, a well connected group of former members of organized crime who act as go-betweens when the criminal underworld take aim at one another but Julian will quickly discover Olivia’s ex is as dangerous as they come, and Julian is no longer satisfied to sit back and wait for someone else to take control. Olivia Walsh has known since the first time she laid eyes on Julian Prescott, that he would one day be her man but Olivia’s business is about to take off, and if not for her ex on the constant prowl, everything about her life would be perfect. When the threats against Olivia become more dangerous and dark, Julian calls in help from the Kings of Hell’s Kitchen but even they are not infallible when someone else is determined to take back what doesn’t belong The relationship between Julian and Olivia is older man/younger woman (May-December romance) wherein five years of lusting after one another finally comes to fruition. Olivia’s father is not impressed with Olivia’s choice in men but Julian is the perfect foil for the man that is targeting our story line heroine. Julian has always believed he would never settle down but when threats against Olivia bring Julian front and center, Julian knows that it is only a matter of time before he claims Olivia as his own. The $ex scenes are intimate, erotic and intense. There is a large ensemble cast of secondary and supporting characters including all of the previous story lines couples, as well as the Kings of Hell’s Kitchen:Luca Romano, Ryu Shiroda, Killian Byrne and Sasha Petrov. We are introduced to Olivia’s father Gavin Walsh, several of our heroine’s BFFs, Olivia’s ex Massimo Greco, and Julian’s cousins Noah, Hudson and Levi. BAD INTENTIONS is a story of family, friendships, relationships and love; a story of betrayal and vengeance, obsession and retribution, power and control. The fast paced premise is gritty and captivating; the romance is spicy and provocative; the characters are energetic, powerful and determined. BAD INTENTIONS is my first story by Tara Wyatt, but it definitely won’t be my last- I am going to have to go back to the beginning, where it all began.

She’s his Eve with an apple. Olivia is 26, and a forbidden temptation to Lucian, the much older (like eighteen years older, which is beyond excessive) antihero. Lucian’s hands are dirty and covered in blood. He’s older, does dubious things, so of course he’s got a hard on for Olivia. Oh, they both want each other. No doubt. Just a whole lotta of reasons why they shouldn’t. Until they do. Recommend. Purchased.
