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)

　　The meeting is eventful, to say the least. Halfway through, his father makes a grand entrance and everyone clears the room quickly, leaving the two Carrero men to go at it like raging bulls. I stand outside observing the many eyes watching them through the glass. With my back to them, iPad in hand, I reply to emails; I can hear them arguing in Italian so that no one else can understand what they’re saying.


　　His father is pissed, but Jake is antagonizing him. I can tell by his tone of voice, and a quick glance at his aggressive posture confirms it. He never knows when to stop. The merger could still be called off; he should be smoothing things over, not letting his feelings get the better of him.


　　Finally, Senior storms out, yelling something in hostile Italian, and Jake snorts in answer. Senior glares back at him before stomping off with a flurry of nervous assistants running after him, the air crackling with tension.
