Like [[Recap/ChambersMMBC Max Chambers]] before them, Amelia Ruth Limerence has fallen into and out of relationships many a time; but they can't honestly say they have ever been in real, true love before. That all changes when a certain Sim walks into the BC house... and when Amelia decides that [[LoveMakesYouEvil they must ensure that this Sim is the one who wins the project,]] [[MurderTheHypotenuse at whatever cost]].

''Kiss of Death'', or the Limerence MMBC to give it its categorical title, is one of the Fanfic/MurderMysteryBacheloretChallenges - and one of the few if not only to make the bacheloret have a genuinely evil hand in proceedings. Run by socialjusticesimblr, it can be read from the beginning [[http://socialjusticesimblr.tumblr.com/tagged/limerence-mmbc/chrono here]].

* EntitledToHaveYou: '''Amelia'''.
* TheButlerDidIt: Averted with Lidon.
* IdiosyncraticEpisodeNaming: Every odd episode is named after ways of saying 'I love you' in various languages, while every even episode is named after types of kiss.
* InteractiveNarrator: Narrator, who performs the same function as Rep from Recap/ChambersMMBC.
** HeelFaceTurn: It later turns out that Narrator actually ''is'' that same Rep - after almost letting Max die, Narrep realized how cruel its actions were, and attempted to stop the Limerence 'BC' from falling to the same fate, to no avail...
