Eurydice, or Euri, is stuck in a loop of constant thoughts about how death is inevitable, with a boyfriend Aris to match. Except her boyfriend takes it farther, by killing people on a daily basis, to 'face death right on, to show I'm the boss.' She knows he's a psychopath, but there's only so much you can do when you don't want to get killed yourself. One night after he came back home form killing, he starts showing interest in killing her. Euri knows that she doesn't want to die in such a violent manner, and decides to run away to her cousin in Washington to get away from Aris. Once Euri gets to Washington, she meets Orpheus, a handsome boy whose girlfriend, Sera, is a major bitch, but also the hottest one in school. Everyone knows of an old legend that speaks of an Eurydice and Orpheus belonging together, and nobody lets up on the fact. But, fate wants them no where close to that. {based on the 1959 film Black Orpheus, and the old Greek myth of Orpheus and Eurydice's love.}

"Remember how wet you were when you decide to start avoiding me again. Remember how you came all over me. Remember how you felt in this exact moment because I know you'll deny it." - She knew falling in love with him was wrong. She still fell anyway. Now she will have to live with the debt of temptation - When Poppy witnesses a robbery gone wrong and gives evidence to the police to catch the perpetrators, she finds herself in witness protection after discovering the criminals are part of a dangerous gang. But when her witness protection comes to an end, she is soon captured by the gang leader and told she'll give eight years of her life for the man who was sentenced to prison for the same amount of time. Poppy is forced to work for the spiteful leader, Rexx, who uses her natural beauty to swindle valuable information from wealthy men for his own benefit. She's been counting down the seconds until her freedom. When she stumbles across Gabriel Dalton, the underboss to the mafia, he's charming, attractive and tempting. Poppy expects him to be like the rest, only ever after one thing. But that's when Gabriel proves her wrong. After Rexx discovers her acquaintance with Gabriel, he demands that she spies on him to get information about his family and business. Reluctantly she wants to say no, but she has no choice. If she fights it, she'll get hurt-or worse. As Poppy becomes closer to Gabriel, she doesn't expect to fall for him. And little does he know, she's been lying to him this whole time. There is only one thing Gabriel absolutely despises and that is heartless backstabbers. Tropes: - mafia romance - forced proximity - who did this to you? - angst/betrayal - dual POV - spice with some kinks 18+
