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)

　　“I don’t want to do this, Jake,” I utter quietly, looking down at our hands held together, so weirdly fitted and snug.


　　“What? Snuggle in the cab? Let me take advantage of you?” He glances at me a little unsurely, humor evident, but not quite hitting the mark.


　　“This whole bonding over shitty childhood experiences. I want to take it all back, so you don’t know any of it,” I breathe out honestly, still holding his hand, still taking comfort from his touch. He’s my harbor in the storm right now.


　　“Because it’s … shameful. I’m ashamed of it.” It’s the first time I’ve ever said it out loud and admitted it. I sigh, trying to steady my inner turmoil, but this is harder than I thought it would be. He shakes his head and pulls me close to him across the seat, releasing my hand to bring an arm around me tightly. His forehead rests against mine as he pulls my face back to him, his hand sliding along my jawline carefully brining me to him.
