The title is "Minimum Wage Magic" by Rachel Aaron.
The protagonist is one Opal Yong-we who is having a bad string of
luck, you will find out why. She must keep up payment son her debt to her
Dragon Father/owner or go back to his creche and do only what he wants.
Aaron has invented the Detroit Free Zone which exists after
Magic returns(?) to Earth.
