The Carrero Effect (The Carrero Series, #1) / The Carrero Series (ePub)

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 organized, 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 realizes 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 the ability to steamroll over her manicured ice maiden exterior, who is not phased by the closed-in demeanor 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 someone like him can change when that one girl that matters breaks through. Love-able sexy characters and deep emotional topics. Contains some mature, adult content and language.
