Accomplice to the Villain (Assitant to the Villain #3) by Hannah Nicole Maehrer
 
REWARD OFFERED: Apprentice to The Villain wanted for treason (light), magical property damage (alleged), and one incident involving a weaponized scone (accurate). Frequently seen with a grumpy frog (crowned, judgmental). Answers to "Evie" or "Stop that."
 
Evie Sage didn't mean to become the right-hand woman to the kingdom's most terrifying villain. One minute, she was applying for an entry-level position that promised "light paperwork and occasional beheadings," and the next, she was knee-deep in magical mayhem, murder plots, and an entirely inappropriate crush on her brooding, sharp-jawed, walking disaster of a boss.
 
Now, with a magical prophecy unraveling, assassins showing up in the break room, and a suspicious amount of frogs wearing crowns, Evie has to figure out how to survive her job without setting the kingdom on fire--or her dignity, which is hanging by a very sarcastic thread.
 
Being evil-adjacent was never part of the five-year plan. But then again...neither was falling for The Villain.
 
A magical office comedy with grumpy bosses, snarky frogs, and definitely-not-feelings.
 
The Assistant and the Villain series is best enjoyed in order.
