The Carrero Effect by LT Marshall 
Romantic Contemporary Women’s Fiction

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. 
Loveable, sexy characters, and deep emotional topics.
Contains some mature, adult content, and language.

5 out of 5 fairies

I absolutely fell in love with Emma and Jake from the start. Emma is relatable to anyone who has gotten over a rough part of life and is determined to keep the rest of their life on track, no matter what. Jake wasn’t as relatable but he’s hotter than Louisiana in August. Even if he’s got a stubborn streak a mile wide that sometimes makes you want to shake him. This is a great story of how they grow individually and how they fight a war within themselves. Each as a plan for their future – but what does life have in store instead?

A passionate, restless soul, who has always found peace in writing, the only way to calm that fiery spirit.

Her influences vary, but from early life and a teen stint in journalism, she applies logic to most of her plot lines, is a self-confessed research fiend, and likes a lot of psychology behind her characters’ actions.

‘Writing has always been an escape for me, loving that no matter what you are doing, where you are – you can create ideal fantasy and get lost in someone else’s life. I love nothing more than drawing a reader with me on a journey that tortures your every emotion before the grand exhale.’ – LT Marshall
