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 warmth of his breath on top of my scalp moves away; he’d been resting his face in my hair the whole time as I was breathing him in, painfully familiar.


　　“Emma, this … us … it’s toxic. We just fight and feel angry with each other all the time.” He sounds defeated while my head is screaming at me to say it, to open up and tell him … tell him that how I’ve behaved, how I’ve reacted and held back, is all in the past …tell him that I want him to see the real me. I want him to finally get through my walls. I want to show him the constant inner chaos of my fucked-up mind. But I can’t.


　　Old Emma still has control over my mouth, and she’s mortally wounded. Old Emma is recoiling in fear of rejection because he is already hurting me and pushing me away.
