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)

　　He can be so infuriating. I think he’s still exhausted for sure, and he’s being crabby as hell. I don’t want to fight; I want to go back to playful, fun Jake. This is not the little outing I was expecting.


　　“Jake, it shouldn’t have happened; we crossed a line,” I plead, trying to make him see sense, trying to stop this fiery conversation and get back to something lighter.


　　“And there she is! Right back to square one.” The sarcasm is thick in his tone, his body stiffening in his seat.


　　“What’s that supposed to mean?” I turn to him angrily.


　　“Anytime you get close, Emma, even a hint of letting go, you snap right back in and shut the door. No conversation, no acknowledgment of it; just wham. Over!” he barks at me, all hope of not fighting out the window, and my emotions tank.


　　“What?” I hiss with a sardonic laugh. “Because I won’t sleep with my boss, I’m not letting myself go? That’s being closed off?” I turn away, anger flaming my face, completely furious now.
