Emma Anderson has everything in her life worked out. She has her perfect job in a Manhattan empire allowing her to live a quiet and organised safe existence. A necessity to her, after a childhood filled with bad memories, abuse, and a mother who was less than useless.
But, with it comes a problem, one that could derail everything she thought she needed in her life. Her promotion sends her straight into the close employment of young, gorgeous, playboy billionaire, Jacob Carrero with his formidable reputation for being a player. Stuck as his right-hand man, every waking moment of every single day, she realises he is exactly the type of person who could drive her crazy, and not in a good way. Like chalk and cheese, he is everything she's not. 
Compulsive, confident, laid back, dominant and fun, with a seriously laid back attitude to casual sex and dating. 
Jake is the only one with an ability to steamroll over her manicured ice maiden exterior, who is not phased by the closed in demeanour and cool manners, but as much as she wants to, letting him in is another thing entirely. 
A past that made her man wary and no desire to ever let one close enough to hurt her again, Jacob Carrero has his work cut out. He is not someone who takes NO for an answer and will have to learn how to break through if he wants more than the mask she shows the world. 
Jake needs to show her that even some one like him can change when that one girl that matters breaks through. Love-able sexy characters and deep emotional topics.

The Carrero Series (1-3)

　　“I forgot you don’t mess with the staff,” Daniel laughs smugly. I miss whatever look passes between them as Jake stands in front of me.


　　“I don’t mess with good girls. Period.” Jake turns, throwing me a cavalier wink, and my heart stops mid-beat.


　　He thinks I’m a good girl? What does that even mean? Boring, uptight? What’s wrong with good girls?


　　“Amen to that!” Daniel cuts in, and both men high five in a show of male camaraderie. This time I don’t quell the urge to eye roll and catch Jake grinning back at me.


　　I experience a swell of relief as he turns and places a hand on the small of my back to guide me out, signaling this meeting is done. It’s the first time that skin contact has been acceptable between us as he guides me out of the room, along the hall, and finally to the row of gold-colored elevators, leaving Daniel behind in the room to do whatever with his date.
