My Devil Boy - 2nd book-Pearson Series

Darren DelReason is a personification of sophistication, dignity and wealth. Handsome and charming, he's also blessed with the Midas touch to turn every undertaking into thriving business.
The outwardly perfect son of the prestigious family is not as virtuous as the world believes under all the well-maintained veneer. Besides the family conglomerate, he also rules his own realm of crime from his debonair throne, calling himself very prosaically - the Devil Boy.
When the circumstances bring him to an auction house, the formidable ruler of the Underworld experiences something the toughest of the criminals wouldn't dare do, knowing the consequences.
Measuring him up with a proudly lifted brow, an intriguing beauty with the cornflower blue eyes and a wealth of wavy mahogany hair throws a brazen challenge off his way.
Dazzled by her courage, Darren decides on chucking the fiercely-spirited lady a trifle, topping her bid before the hammer drops.
Declaring war on the enigmatic hunk, Joyce Pearson is not going to relinquish so easily even if she longs for sampling the enticing lips twirled into an unmannerly confident smirk.
She didn't play the old pact card to manoeuvre her cousin into helping her eliminate the most fearsome of her adversaries to lose the painting to a complete stranger eventually. No matter how darkly fascinating he is.
With just two weeks to her birthday, Joyce can't wish for a better gift than the last missing piece to complete her mother's collection.
Unluckily for her, Darren DelReason seldom comes as a runner-up when he settles on wining. And he definitely has to snatch the painting for himself. It is of mediocre worth and not his cup of tea at all, but the only trump card he can play to draw the intriguing creature into his evil world on her own.
