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 rear view of Jake’s body towers in front of me, and I can almost taste the tension emanating from him. I guess this is a hint of angry Jake coming out to play. He’s always quicker to anger when he’s drunk, or so Daniel implied when regaling me with drunken tales last time he stayed over. His body stiffens and I can almost see the electric sparks crackling in the air, even from back here. Angry Jake is not much fun. Whatever Sleazy is saying to him, he doesn’t seem to like it at all. I can’t hear their mumbled conversation over the music so I look Jake up and down instead, enjoying the waves of drunkenness calming me and pulling me into dreamy euphoria.


　　I like his back; it’s strong and sexy, especially in black tailored shirts and those ass-hugging black jeans he wears. He has the nicest ass. He has the swooniest male body, if I’m being honest, no matter what he wears. He’s still so cool and in control, regardless of his stance.
