In the second book of the neon gods series, Eros, son of Aphrodite and Psyche, daughter of Demeter, will get into a marriage of convenience when Aphrodite orders Eros to bring Psyche’s heart out: He's a right hand killer and she becomes into his objective, he would rather not kill her since she was one of the few people who made an impression on him. Psyche, on the other hand, is a plus size woman and somewhat and influencer…
She knows how the others critique, but behold that she shows a confidence that many female main character don’t show profoundly.
The first time they meet was when Psyche sees him bleeding during a party, and does not hesitate to tend him. But, like any other celebrities, they get caught by a paparazzi and their “secret relationship” gets blasted all over the news outlet… so in anger Aphrodite order Eros to kill Psyche. But again it took turn when he felt the need to protect her and suggested a marriage of convenience aka Fake Marriage trope.
Eros is always described as a “ferocious beast” or a heartless killer, but the author mostly showed Eros as an cold hearted but softy-only-for-his-woman-only hero. I would of liked to see him as the so-called beast he said oftenly. I so wish that we saw a more possessive side to these two.
PS: Eros is a soft boy and Psyche wears the pants in the relationship. (It probably runs in the family (Persephone & Hades))Z
"You're a gift, Psyche Dimitriou. A
fucking gift."
“The woman showed me kindness once, and then I essentially followed her home like a feral cat and forced her to marry me.”
