***Book Two in the Manhattan After Dark series*** The fairytale is finished. Now comes the fallout. After a headline-making arrest shatters the illusion of opulence and order, Manhattan Bertelli is thrust into a firestorm she never saw coming. Interrogated by the FBI, hounded by the press, and stalked by ghosts of a man she swore she'd never love, she finds herself at the epicenter of a scandal that could destroy everything. Paris Giovanetti, heir to a billion dollar empire and father of the child Manhattan has grown to love as her own, stands accused of financial crimes that threaten his legacy, his freedom, and the fragile trust they built. As secrets unravel and allegiances fracture, Manhattan must confront who she is without the shadows to shield her and how far she'll go to protect the truth. But when lies turn deadly and a brutal custody war begins, love may no longer be enough. In a world where power is currency and loyalty demands blood, survival means choosing a side and praying it's the right one. Bold, provocative, and utterly addictive, Love and Liability is the explosive second book in Manhattan After Dark, where the stakes are higher, the betrayals cut deeper, and the only thing more dangerous than the truth is what happens after.
