The Beast's Guide

Beast mages and their guides have a sensible arrangement: Wizards with volatile magic join forces with those who have stable magic in order to ensure that power is accessible and useful. However, Leah Martin is struggling. She's pretty sure a guide isn't supposed to bed her Beast on the regular. When she and her partner, Gage Radford, have to stage a rescue for a guildmate trapped in an ancient curse deep in the snow-covered mountains, she's determined to stay focused on the mission. But spending several nights alone on a secluded trail with Gage might make her question whether she wants to keep holding his leash...or give him hers.
