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 am trying...  … but sometimes trying involves falling off your horse once or twice. Or sometimes, some shithead comes along and spikes your drink for shits and giggles and then your family don’t fucking believe you.” I snap at her, hoping to God going back to bed calms down the overwhelming nausea, rage, and pounding head so I can deal with my parents later.


　　“Sophie, stop right there.” My father’s commanding tone is a rare thing, I stop obediently, more from shock than anything, that he might actually try to control wild little me in some paternal way this time, and not let my past make him wimp out. He gets up and comes to meet me at the table where I am standing. “I know you are trying, and I trust that Emma is taking good care of you, but I really think we should consider a live-in establishment for a little while, until you can stop drinking. I think it’s time we put our foot down with you because enough is enough.”
