Book Description
Aiden From the second I saw her, I knew she'd be my ruin. Sitting all alone at the bar, she looked like an angel. Eurydice in human form; her beauty eclipsed by demons. Now, I'm one of them. The ghost she's tried for years to escape. Thinking I wouldn't be able to find her. But I never stopped trying, and now that I have, her past sins should be the least of her worries. Riley From the moment he saw me, I knew I'd ruin his life. Alone at the bar, I dared the monster to come and play. Orpheus in the flesh, with his sad songs and strange obsessions. I became one of them. The siren who calls to the darkest parts of him. Only, I disappeared before he could act on it. But now he's here, and he wants me to repent for my sins. *** *Vipers and Virtuosos is a full-length, standalone dark rockstar romance inspired by the myth of Orpheus and Eurydice. It is NOT fantasy, historical, or a retelling. If you are not a dark romance reader, this book may not be suitable for you. Reader discretion is advised.
