One’s playing a game. The other’s keeping score.

When wild-child Aggie Corelissen shows up for an interview with the last person she’d ever want to work for, golden-boy entrepreneur Max Treadwell, she has one goal—to not be offered the position. While she hates to disappoint the two matchmaking grandmothers who’d pressed Max to hire her, she wants nothing to do with a pity job. Besides, the guy could easily win Mr. Pompous Ass of the year.

The last thing Max wants is to offer Aggie a job. The woman, a mixture of bizarre and annoying, has gone through at least a half-dozen employers this year already. He might’ve promised Grandmother he’d hire her, but if Aggie doesn’t take it because he’s more than a little un-charming, that won’t be his fault. After all, his company is on the brink of a major land acquisition, and the last thing he needs is a screw-up as a personal assistant.

With neither of them willing to disappoint their grandmothers, the interview becomes the stuff of legends, and somehow, before either can blink, they’re suddenly stuck working together.

Aggie’s determined the only way out is to be the worst assistant ever and get fired…

Max knows his grandmother would kill him if he fired Aggie, so he’ll just have to be so awful she quits…

But what happens next, no one could have seen coming.

“Since this is a courtesy interview that won’t end in an offer, why don’t I help you find the best candidate?”

Oh hell no. It would end in a job offer. An offer he needed her to refuse. “Not a courtesy interview at all,” he said. “I know all about your employment history, and I’m willing to cut you some slack. Do you have a résumé?”

“My employment history?” Traces of steel hardened her tone. “Since I haven’t yet given you my résumé, how do you know anything other than my name and who my meemaw is?”

“Grandmother mentioned that you’ve had a run of bad luck job-wise.”

“Oh.” She leaned down, picked up a bag that was way too large to be a purse, and set it on the chair. For a few moments, she rifled through it before pulling out a tube of toothpaste, a Rubik’s Cube with all the correct colors on each side, a bag of gummy bears, and a rather heavy-looking hammer.

He cocked his head. Should he ask?

She straightened. “Damn. I knew I forgot something this morning. If I could borrow your computer, I’ll pull up my Aggie’s Assets and print it off for you. It will only take a jiff.”

He raised an eyebrow. “Aggie’s Assets?” Did it include her bra size along with her typing speed?

She cheerfully nodded.

“That won’t be necessary. You can email it to me later today.”

“Thank you.” She shot him a bright fake smile. “Meemaw said you were a peach.” Her tone was suddenly purely Southern in every way possible. The accent. The sweetness. The thinly veiled insult.

“I do try to be a peach every chance I get,” he said drily.
