Sharply funny and endlessly creative, The Ruthless Lady's Guide to Wizardry by C.M. Waggoner is a fantasy romp with romance, adventure, and even a conspiracy to unravel. Dellaria Wells is a down-on-her-luck fire witch who takes on what she believes will be the easy job of protecting a wealthy client from assassins. However, her no-sweat gig quickly turns dangerous, but on the upside she finds herself smitten with one of her fellow protectors, Winn Cynallum.
