The Carrero Effect (Book One of The Carrero Series)

EMMA ANDERSON has everything in her life worked out.
She has a perfect job in a Manhattan empire, allowing her to live a quiet, organised and safe existence. A necessity after a childhood filled with abuse, bad memories, and a mother who was less than useless.
She’s worked hard to get where she is - and she has just landed an amazing promotion.
But it comes with a problem - and one that could derail everything she thought she needed in her life.
Emma’s new role is as the right-hand man for billionaire playboy JAKE CARRERO. He’s exactly the type of person who could drive her crazy - and not in a good way.
Chalk and cheese - he is everything she’s not. Compulsive, dominant and confident, with a seriously laid-back attitude to casual sex and dating.
Jake is the only one with the ability to steamroll over Emma’s manicured, ice maiden exterior. But Emma has no desire to let anyone close enough to hurt her again.
Jake needs to show Emma that even someone like him can change when that one girl that matters walks into your life.
JAKE CARRERO - the only man in her life she has ever been able to trust - has gone. Her perfect job is a distant memory. Her future is bleak.
She has lost the cool facade she spent years perfecting and has been left in a desolate slump, trying to claw back some form of normality.
Emma is heartbroken... that is until Jake walks straight back into her life.
And maybe there is a chance at something more between them this time. But this "more" comes with analysing everything that’s come before - as well as the baggage that is now attached to him in the form of Marissa Hartley.

JAKE CARRERO and EMMA ANDERSON: the Boss and PA who went from colleagues, to friends, to lovers - and who have been torn apart by his stupid mistake.
So much in their relationship has been unremedied or left unsaid. And neither of them knows if they can repair the damage and find a way back to each other.
Not only is their relationship flawed and in need a better footing, but they still have problems hanging over them in the form of Marissa Hartley. Then there are the friends who are just as heartbroken and the mothers who do nothing but disappoint.
This is the final installment of the Emma and Jake story. Will it be the final straw for their relationships?
