***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.

✯ A rom com dark romance✯ Behind the façade of innocence, secrets lurk, hidden behind masks of deception. The truth, however, is far more sinister, tangled in a web of blood and betrayal.

And it is here, in this twilight realm, that the truth reveals its most sinister aspect: the unholy desires that drive men to madness. Their desires, a raging inferno of obsession, consume them whole, dragging them down to the depths of hell. And it is there, in that fiery abyss, that they will be consumed by the very flames that once drove them. Their own insane desires will be their undoing, burning them alive in a sea of madness and despair.

Our Secret [Completed]
[Book 2 in the Secret series] "That's not what I meant..." I chew on my lip. "Well, what the fuck did you mean then?" He shouts. "When I'm there I don't have to think about you!" I yell back. Wrong choice of words again, Sophia. I curse myself. His form immediately stands and he strides over to me, he is now inches away from me, his body is so close to mine that I am forced to take a couple of steps backwards. My back is pressed up against the window. Noah's breathing is deep but he speaks softly, "when you're there all I can think about is you." He raises his hand and tucks a strand of hair behind my ear. I step around him and head for the door, "uh I'm going to go to the hospital." I pick up my bag and rush out of the door leaving Noah in the room and saving myself from doing something I would definitely regret and make me change my mind about going back to Pennsylvania. ------------ 'I love you too,' were the last words Sophia heard before she was banished from her home city and she left without a second thought. If she didn't she knew she would be in danger. A month and a half later Sophia returns as a person close to her is in critical condition in hospital. Everyone's eyes are on Sophia, and they are looking for someone to blame. Will she return to her new life and forget about New York once and for all? Or will she fit right back into the McKenzie's life as if she never left? And as for her relationship with Noah, there might be a chance for romance after all.Completa

"That means you're coming with me too then." He groans, bringing a hand up to his forehead and rubbing it in exasperation. "Excuse me?" My chest puffs up indignantly. "I don't think me or this baby will be going anywhere with you." "Ever since he was born, he and the mother have been in danger." He snarls as he comes up to my face. "And now that you've found him, your life is in equal danger." I blanch. Shaking my head, I slap down my impending terror. "Your point?" The foreboding man leans forward and switches his gaze between me and the slumbering child in my arms. "My point,"-he licks his lips-"is that I'm the only chance you have at surviving." ~~~~~~~~~~~~ Having his wife run away with his unborn son sets Adrian Raines off on a mission to find them.
