Lost in Front of You Book One
When a woman who knows nothing about magic stumbles into a new, dangerous world, she must rely on one man to survive.
The ruthless, single-minded Raynor Nex only cares about his possessions. A gift from his late, power-obsessed father, Raynor will stop at nothing to secure his position among Gilder City’s magical elite. Show weakness, and the Higher Magical Union will strip him of his title, his wealth, and his Belongings.
In this world, there are two types of those money can buy and those magic guarantees.
When the naïve but determined Alicia breaks into his club, courtesy of a family curse gone wrong, Raynor intends to throw her to the Union. One thing stops him. Alicia bears a birthmark at the back of her neck, an inverted triangle, Raynor’s family crest and the symbol that signifies his Belongings. How can a woman he’s never met be marked with his magical guarantee? And what exactly will Alicia do to remove it? He’ll soon have no choice but to set her to work at his private detective agency, whether she likes it or not.
She’s always known she was different. Now that difference will be shoved down her throat and set alight by a snide family curse determined to ruin her life and a cold man who unwittingly holds the secrets to her past.
She’ll fight – the curse, Raynor, anything that gets her way. It might not be in her personality. It’s in her blood, along with a gift that could finally tear the tyrannical Union apart and set magic and Raynor free for good.
…
Lost in Front of You follows a new witch battling to reveal the truth and survive in a twisted magical world. If you love your urban fantasies with action, heart, and a splash of romance, grab Lost in Front of You Book One today and soar free with an Odette C. Bell series.

It's one of the better books I've listened to this year. Even the AI generated audio was done well, unlike at least 75% or more, which I've struggled simply getting through due to poor quality.
This was unique, fast-paced, unlike other books I've read,and an escape from the norm. I thoroughly enjoyed the characters and unique story.

I might be over Bell books. There is sometimes a not so bad one in between, but usually they're crap.
