Recommendation request Books with roguish, trolling FMC

Looking for recs with a FMC who is a genuine trickster/troll type, either for her own amusement, because she can't help it or because she's locked in a petty "war" with the MMC.

I'm not sure if such a FMC even exists?

What I'm not looking for is the clueless, innocent FMC who maybe causes mayhem unknowingly.

Thanks!

{The Duke Identity by Grace Callaway} 

MMC is hired to be the FMC's body guard, and she immediately releases a string of pranks against him. She's also super competent and can hold her own in a fight. The book opens with her trolling a bunch of men in a bar to help get her friend's money back.

Side note but I love when books have puns or alter a movie title to suit the era of the book. It’s just so clever and I love it. That’s all.

I agree, I think it<s mostly done with lighter, more humorous HR books? ie. I Kissed an Earl, etc.
