Why these tropes fit

As the second novel in the Dreamlight Trilogy set in the Arcane Society universe, the story follows notorious crime lord Griffin Winters, who is plagued by hallucinations, nightmares, and the generational Winters Curse that brings madness to those who inherit the powerful Burning Lamp artifact. He arranges a meeting with Adelaide Pyne, the woman who holds the missing lamp, and the pair quickly learn their fates are inextricably bound. When a dangerous psychic experiment they undertake draws threats from both inside and outside the Arcane Society, growing desire between them strengthens their psychic abilities, but their vastly different lives and the constant threat of death threaten to keep them apart forever.
