Losing Streak

By Edith Russo

Trixie's used to things going wrong. She can rarely keep a job for more than six months, no matter how hard she tries. If it isn't her own clumsiness or inability to figure out what to do, it's her car breaking down or her alarm failing to go off. So when an ill-timed collision on the sidewalk leads to a job offer, she can't quite believe her luck.

Taylor's job is stressful and demanding, and despite what some people might think she doesn't get any advantages from being the CEO's younger sister. She needs an assistant who won't quit on her after two weeks. Trixie may not be ideal, but she'll have to do.

The two women discover that they work surprisingly well together, and things soon shift personal. But Taylor's sister has taught her to prioritize work above all else, while Trixie knows that with her luck, nothing good can last long.
