The Ruthless Lady's Guide to Wizardry

Delly Wells is short of rent and long on questionable ways to earn it. An advertisement for women with fighting or magical abilities looks like an opportunity she can talk herself into: protect a wealthy bride before her wedding. Among the unusual recruits is Winn Cynallum, whose confidence and good breeding attract Delly’s attention. A promising combination of wages and flirtation soon becomes a dangerous investigation when the threats prove more serious than expected. With an eccentric group of allies, Delly and Winn confront an opponent whose influence reaches into respectable society. Delly’s fire magic and quick tongue may help, but getting through the job requires more than the confidence that won it.
