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)

　　She sits for a moment and I scrutinize her every expression, a hint of surprise followed by a look of disappointment and then a fake smile is plastered on to hide it all. Her façade disrupted, only momentarily, and then she’s back in full control.


　　Why am I not surprised that she doesn’t want me to be happy? She never has. She doesn’t care if it’s not something for her benefit.


　　“Congratulations. I’m assuming the wedding will be in New York?” She can’t look me in the eye but there’s a new tone to her voice, a slight edge and for the first time I click to what it is. I’ve been completely oblivious before today, but now there’s a bright shining magnifying light forced over the top of her for me to peer through.


　　She’s jealous!! She is jealous of her own freaking child finding happiness. Her own child finding love. What kind of mother is that?!
