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)

　　After I’ve cleaned up our mugs and straightened the kitchen a little, I head to my mother’s room, pulling out my cell to call Jake while sprawling across the comforter.


　　He answers immediately, glad that I’m here and that I sound okay. I’ve nothing much to tell him; I’m simply happy to hear his voice. I tell him that I won’t see my mother until tomorrow and don’t want to talk about her tonight.


　　He makes me laugh, talking about how much he’s pining in my absence and being silly. My normal, mischievous Jake, that’s what I need right now.


　　“You know, tiny, I don’t have anything much going on. Just Daniel’s birthday.” I hear Daniel in the background protesting in response, but Jake ignores him and continues, “I could hop a plane and keep you company.” He seems serious despite the casual tone to his voice, with an undertone I recognize.


　　“He’s your best friend; you can’t bail on his birthday bash,” I object, but sigh at just how much I adore him for it.
