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 turn in his arms and throw myself around him taking comfort from the person I need most in the world. I still ache, I’m still grieving for what he’s done but I need to be here with him if I’m to heal. The wracking pain from being away from him is more unbearable than facing the pain of what he’s done to us. It’s crazy and messed-up; maybe it makes me weak but it’s the only way I can function.


　　“I don’t want to leave,” I whimper, with my head buried in his neck.


　　“No one is making you go, Emma, in fact, they’re going to have to fight me to the death to try to get you out of my arms. I won’t let you go.” The hoarseness in his voice betrays his emotion, close to breaking down, yet with a hint of stubborn Carrero.


　　“I want to come home.” I sniff, quietly, my heart wrenching through my chest, painfully.


　　“I want you home. I need you home.” He presses his mouth to my forehead and inhales me heavily.
