Watching the chaotic new waitress in town is harmless entertainment, until she walks into his accounting firm asking for a job. She has to be up to something. Hal’s suspicion wars with his curiosity, which turns into an offer no sane professional—or HR department—would approve. Hailey knows the interview is absurd. The terms are impossible. But for the first time in her life, someone sees her potential instead of her mistakes. And she refuses to walk away. Determined to make a new reality for herself, Hailey accepts. And what begins as a structured agreement quickly becomes something far more real. Lines begin to blur. Emotions surface. And control proves far more complicated when hearts are involved. A complete mess in need of stability. A control freak in need of a little chaos. And a connection powerful enough to either destroy them, or change everything.
