Originally published as Fooling Around and has since been minimally revised.
Julie Nelson is lost, exhausted, and at loose ends after years of caring for her aging parents when she’s offered the opportunity of a lifetime. Spend three months as an assistant to a grumpy, entitled billionaire as he recovers from a broken leg, and earn a million dollars.
She doesn’t like Eric Vincent. In fact, he’s the most infuriating man she’s ever met, and working for him even temporarily won’t be easy. But she agrees anyway. Who wouldn’t for the chance of so much money?
She doesn’t expect to find him attractive. Or to discover the human side of him. Or to grow to care about him as a lot more than a boss.
But she’s not going to fall in love with him. She’s much too smart and sensible for that.
