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)

　　“Emma? Emma?” Jake’s voice comes at me from far away. I flutter my eyes open and realize there are several faces above me, hemming me in like a bad dream.


　　Jake’s holding my head up with one hand and pulls me slowly to sit up, a hand sliding behind my back to support me.


　　“Are you okay?” He’s pale and seems stressed. I realize I’m lying on the floor, my head still spinning, the scratchy carpet irritating my skin. Some of the suits move back as I struggle upright, held by Jake’s strong arm as he kneels over me. I have no idea what’s going on.


　　“I just felt a little lightheaded,” I try but sound childlike, trying to make excuses. I feel so odd, like this is all some weird dream. I don’t think I’ve ever fainted before, and if that’s what this is, it’s surreal. I can only assume that’s what happened, and why I’m on the floor with no memory of how.


　　“Emma, you passed out.” Jake studies my face with a scrutinizing frown, not giving me any room at all.
