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)

　　“Your un-flailing libido never fails to impress me,” I retort sarcastically, ignoring how often it does annoy me.


　　“Least I have a sex life.” He takes a mouthful of food, giving me that teasing eyebrow lift of his.


　　“Meaning?” I pick up my fork and clean it on my napkin before I start with the salad, still watching him with a very serious expression.


　　“Meaning, I’ve spent many intimate hours with you and have yet to see any sign of a date or fuck-buddy keeping you cheerful.” He raises his eyebrows then digs into his food again, no shame in what he just said. I swallow hard.


　　“I’ve more important things to do and no desire to date or find a fuck-buddy.” I grimace at his term, throwing him a furrowed brow, completely unamused.


　　“Might put a smile on your face.” He’s grinning. I lift my chin towards him and throw on a fake smile, as widely as I can muster. Forced of course.
