n nBroke, almost homeless, and recently fired. Those are my official reasons for answering a wanted ad for a skeevy-looking bartender gig.n nIt went downhill the moment they asked me to do a trial shift instead of an interview--to see if Id mesh with their special clientele. I think that part went great. Their customers were complete dickheads, and I was an asshole right back. Thats the definition of fitting in, right?n nI expected to get thrown out on my ass. Instead, they...offered me the job?n nIt turns out this place isnt a bar. Its a guild. And the three cocky guys I drenched with a margarita during my trial? Yeah, they were mages. Either Im exactly the kind of takes-no-shit bartender this guild needs, or theres a good reason no one else wants to work here.n nSo whats a broke girl to do? Take the job, of course--with a pay raise.n
