ABOUT THE BOOK: Release Date May 23, 2022.

Onyx Santo.
Cold-hearted, harsh, and a brutal adversary.
They call him a Devil. I call him my nemesis.

His designer suits, expensive shoes, flashy car, and cruel intelligence can’t hide what he is underneath.
Empty.

He fooled me once, and I swore he’d never get a second chance.
There is nothing he can do to redeem himself in my eyes.
As my most hated rival, the only time he makes me smile is when I’ve bested him in the boardroom.

But someone far worse is out to get me. Perhaps…even hurt me.
The police have no leads, and I have no idea who it could be.
I do know one man who doesn’t play by the rules. One man who could protect me.

I’d rather live in fear than ask for his help.

Ruthless Devil is a full-length enemies-to-lovers romance that is intended for mature readers. This is a standalone book and does not need to be read in conjunction with The Ruthless Devils series, but you may enjoy it more if you do. If you are not a fan of morally grey alphaholes or heroines who aren’t afraid to tell them to stick it where the sun don’t shine, then you should keep scrolling.

REVIEW: RUTHLESS DEVIL is the fourth instalment in Eve L Mitchell’s contemporary, adult THE RUTHLESS DEVILS dark, erotic romance series. This is sports agents /attorneys Onyx Santo, and twenty-eight year old Angel Balan’s story line. RUTHLESS DEVIL is a complete stand alone, and does not have to be read fter the previous three instalments. Onyx Santo was first introduced in the original series but his story is separate from the first three books.

WARNING: Due to the nature of the story line premise, there may be triggers for more sensitive readers.

Told from dual first person perspectives (Angel and Onxy) RUTHLESS DEVIL follows two time lines that focus on the acrimonious and caustic relationship between sports agents /attorneys Onyx Santo, and twenty-eight year old Angel Balan. Years earlier, while attending Cardinal Saints College, a college owned and ruled by the Santo family, Angel found herself rescued by the Cardinal Saints ‘Devil’s in the wake of a potential sexual assault but Angel’s rescue came with a caveat, a caveat that was about to destroy any future relationship between herself and her would-be rescuers. Fast forward to present day, Angel is now working as an attorney and sports agent for Saints Sports Management, an agency owned by Onyx Santo, the man who has been diligently working to destroy Angel’s career but all is not well in Angel’s life, when a stalker takes aim at our story line heroine, targeting her for perceived sins of the past. What ensues is the building but tempestuous relationship between Onxy and Angel, and the potential fall-out as Onxy struggles between head and heart where it concerns our story line heroine; and Angel’s stalker takes aim with near fatal success.

Onyx Santo, and his fellow ‘Devils’ Cooper and Charlie do not like our story line heroine. The past reveals an arrogance and birthright, and with it, anyone they deem below the Saints and Devils, is considered fodder and prey. Onxy Santo is determined to make Angel’s professional life miserable in the hopes of destroying her self-esteem and ego. Angel Balan has been bullied by Onxy and his ‘Devils’ for as long as she can remember but never expected the harassment to continue into her professional life but when our heroine finds herself the victim of a stalker, Onxy is determined to protect the woman that is calling to his heart.

The relationship between Onyx and Angel is petulant and testy. Angel struggles with what happened years before, and Onyx refuses to accept that Angel has now become a part of his life but when the attacks against Angel become dangerous and personal, Onxy calls in his fellow ‘Devils’ in an effort to track down the person(s) responsible. The $ex scenes are erotic and intense with some scenes of breath play and bondage.

We are introduced to Onyx’s best friends: Cooper (private Investigator), Charlie Woodcott (fixer), Jeremy Pittman (professional football player) and his wife Chrissy; as well as several business clients.

RUTHLESS DEVIL is a story of power and control, betrayal and vengeance, acceptance and love. The premise is dark, edgy and dramatic; the characters are intense, rebellious and hostile; the romance is provocative.
