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)

　　“You’re very touchy-feely when you’re drunk, aren’t you?” He catches my finger and pushes it down. He has some gall calling anyone touchy-feely.


　　“You’ve a touchy kind of face,” I smile, but the spinning starts to take over, and I decide to lay still to see if it will pass. I watch his green eyes in the dim light and wonder what he’s thinking about, mesmerized by the way his eyes change with his moods. Sometimes they’re dark and almost brown, other times pale and almost aqua. Normally, they’re a very bright, almost emerald green. That’s when I love them the most.


　　“Hmmmm.” He looks at me in an odd way and I can still see the hint of a frown; I stifle the urge to poke it again.


　　“Hmmmm!” I mimic in a mock deep male tone, “What’s ‘hmmmmm’ all about?”


　　Jake can be exasperating! I like Jake. I’m glad he’s my boss! I think we get on better than most boss-employees do.
