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)

　　“Your bags are all on the couch with your shoes.” Jake points out, and I spot the little mini mountain of bags, shoes, and coats all piled carefully on the sofa, another thoughtful Jake move; any other man would have dumped them on the floor by the door.


　　“Thanks. I’m sure Marcus is going crazy over my whereabouts right now.” She practically crawls to the couch and starts rummaging in her bag.


　　“I called him from your cell when we got here last night and told him I’d bring you home this morning. He was cool with that.” Jake cuts in and I find myself glancing at him with no surprise at all. This is who he is, smart, intuitive, and mature in so many ways; always thinking of every detail and doing what needs to be done. I sigh a little.


　　“God. Did you tell him what an absolute drunken mess I was?” She groans, trying to scroll through her phone one handed while pulling her shoes on in a rather awkward and dangerous pose.
