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)

　　Deep breath. Steady, calm, composed.


　　The closing walls begin to move back out, and I calm myself, pushing out of his embrace and against the elevator door with a palm to steady myself.


　　“I’m okay. Really!” I give him a quick glance back and a tight smile, but his expression stays the same. He looks worried and only frowns at my reply. Felicity watches us silently, suspiciously.


　　Yes, Felicity. My boss often manhandles me; it doesn’t scream affair!


　　Jake knows nothing of my father; he’s never broached the subject. Not that I would ever volunteer the information if he did.


　　“You want me to send Felicity home?” he says right in front of her, and I catch her small intake of breath followed by the indignation in her voice.


　　“No!” we retort in unison. I don’t want this kind of awkwardness. I feign a smile and give him a reassuring look as we stop at our floor.
