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 want to grab him and shake him, bile rising in my throat at the thought of him with someone else. Pushing it down, I try to fight the urge to cry.


　　“I’m redefining the boundaries of our relationship; uncrossing the line. That’s what you called it, right?” he tosses back casually. I fall back, but I steel myself, swallowing my sobs and forcing my face to stay as impassive as I can muster as my body retches inside in agony.


　　Isn’t this what I wanted? For him to go back to his women, and I return to being just his PA?


　　“You think going off to screw someone will uncross that line?” The words catch in my throat like steel wool; I feel sick with the pain he’s inflicting.


　　“It’s a start.” He turns into his room and pulls a suitcase from the cupboard; I notice he’s already packed a flight bag on the bed, his passport lying beside it.
