Ryder Lancaster is every girl's dream and every parent's nightmare. Rich, flirtatious, and wildly unpredictable, the nineteen-year-old college heir to the Lancaster legacy is used to getting his way—especially with girls. But when his reckless behavior starts making headlines, his guardians decide he needs supervision. Not a bodyguard. A nanny.
Enter Scarlett Monroe.
She's eighteen, sharp-tongued, and could not care less about Ryder's money, looks, or reputation. With three part-time jobs and a stacked college schedule, she only applied for the "assistant" job at Lancaster Estate for the paycheck. Babysitting a spoiled playboy? Definitely not in her plans.
From the moment they meet, it's chaos.
Ryder flirts, teases, and tries every charm he has. Scarlett shuts him down with savage comebacks and an eye-roll sharp enough to cut steel. She doesn't fall for sweet words or smug smirks—and that only makes Ryder want her more.
But behind all the banter and games, something real begins to bloom. And as secrets surface and feelings deepen, they'll both have to decide: is this just a job—or the beginning of something neither of them saw coming?
Too bad love wasn't part of the job description.
