The Ruthless Lady's Guide to Wizardry by C. M. Waggoner
Delly Wells, petty con artist and fire witch, is broke and seriously behind on her rent. In need of a permanent gig (or at least a way to make some quick cash), she sees a "help wanted" sign for female guards with magical abilities to escort a rich young lady to her wedding. Winn, one of the other guards, a "tall plum pudding" of a woman catches Delly's interest right away, but insists on doing things right rather than just having a quick fling.
This is a fun read. In addition to the obvious plot, there is a sub-plot involving the drug trade (which Delly has a vested interest in, since her mother struggles with drug addiction). The ending was a little fast and anti-climactic, hinting at future cases and more books.
