Foundation: A Phoenix Romantic Suspense Novel (Nora 911 Book 1)

Cathy Morrison has rebuilt her life—sober, employed, and trusted again. When she discovers evidence of corruption at a Phoenix construction company, she documents everything: missing materials, falsified records, and suspicious cash exchanges. Then she vanishes. Detective Nora Stedler takes the case. Brilliant and relentless, she prefers evidence to people. She follows the investigation into a world of powerful developers, buried secrets, and dangerous lies connected to the Valley's rapid growth. As Nora digs deeper, she finds an unexpected ally in a construction foreman who may know more than he admits. What starts as a missing person case becomes a race against time. Someone is willing to kill to protect the truth, and the more Nora uncovers, the more she stands to lose. Set in Phoenix, Arizona, this romantic suspense novel explores corruption, betrayal, and a slow-burning romance developing amid a deadly conspiracy. At 82,000 words, it is the first book in the Nora 911 series.
