Because He's Hers
A shadow guild is distributing an illegal, recreational potion amongst Yanora's magical elite, and the Senate has asked Candy Veres to use her old family connections to help them investigate. This is a job for finesse, elegance, and subtle inquiry—which means Candy has to choose her job partner a little more carefully than usual. Smooth playboy Lawrence (okay, he's a war god contracted to her by way of augury magic) is damn well stoked to spend a month posing as a servant for his sexy master. But he'll find out it takes more to fit into high society than simply looking good in a suit. Meanwhile, Candy is finding out that neither of them is altogether sure exactly who's the master...and who's the servant.
