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)

　　“Again lame. I can understand someone like Rylanne hooking up with a Natasha, I mean he is all for a 1950”s housewife who wants to stay home barefoot and pregnant, that’s why he is dating Brie, but never a Carrero. Definitely not Arrick!” Leila’s stuffing her face with more bread and throws me an odd look that gets a flat response. I won’t be goaded into a reaction that betrays anything. My friends have fallen silent and eating to deflect attention and my face is flaming. Hoping they all drop this topic soon. As interested as I am to hear they don’t all adore her, I am not relishing his name being passed around or his relationship analyzed when all I want to do is forget him.


　　“Arrick clearly likes her, so I guess it’s none of our business!” I point out steadily. I catch Daniel frowning at me for a moment before he clears his throat and looks away, it’s an odd moment but I let it slide. Not sure what to make of it.
