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.

Many of the Nigerian novels in the African Writers Series offer deep insights into the Nigerian way of life. They can be a great way to understand the country's history, values, and struggles. Some novels focus on family dynamics within the Nigerian context, while others might deal with political unrest or economic disparities. Writers use their unique voices to bring these stories to life.
Nigerian novels in the African Writers Series often have strong cultural elements. They showcase the rich and diverse cultures in Nigeria, like the Igbo culture in 'Things Fall Apart'.
They are highly significant. Nigerian novels in this series contribute to the global literary landscape by presenting unique African perspectives. They break away from Western - dominated literary norms.
One notable Nigerian novel from the African Writers Series is 'Things Fall Apart' by Chinua Achebe. It's a classic that vividly portrays Igbo society before and during the colonial era, exploring themes like cultural clash, tradition, and change.
Power imbalance is a big theme. The employers usually hold all the power, dictating the terms of the houseboy's life. This is clearly shown in many such novels. Additionally, there is a theme of resistance. Some houseboys in these stories might try to resist the unfair treatment, either passively or actively. It could be as simple as not following an order or more complex like trying to expose the wrongdoings of the employer. And there is also the theme of the houseboy as an observer. They see the inner workings of the household, the relationships, and the secrets, which can be a source of drama in the story.
There's Bessie Head. She is a Botswanan writer whose short stories are very engaging. Her works often deal with themes of exile, identity, and the complex relationships within African communities. Then there's Dambudzo Marechera from Zimbabwe. His short stories are known for their raw and unflinching look at life, often challenging the norms and exploring the darker aspects of human nature in an African context. Nadine Gordimer from South Africa, although she writes in a broader context, also has some great short stories that touch on the complex racial and social issues in South Africa.
Well, there are quite a few remarkable novels. For instance, Tayari Jones' 'An American Marriage' is a powerful exploration of a marriage tested by the unjust incarceration of the husband. These novels often deal with complex issues like systemic racism, identity formation, and the struggle for equality. They give a voice to African American women, portraying their unique experiences, hopes, and challenges in a society that has long marginalized them. Through their stories, they also contribute to a broader understanding of the African American community as a whole.
Often, they reflect the African American experience. This includes dealing with racism, discrimination, and the struggle for equality. For example, many stories show how African Americans were treated unfairly in society, in jobs, and in public places.
Ngugi wa Thiong'o made significant contributions. He emphasized the importance of using African languages in literature. His works, such as 'Weep Not, Child', were not only about the political situation in Kenya but also about the power of language in shaping national and cultural identities. Ama Ata Aidoo also stands out. Her novels and short stories often focus on the experiences of African women, challenging the patriarchal norms within African societies.
One common theme is the experience of womanhood. African female writers often explore the challenges and joys that come with being a woman in African society, including issues like marriage, motherhood, and female empowerment.
