Don’t Make That Face

Blood is thicker than oil — until murder threatens everything.

Fenway Stevenson swore she’d never go back to Estancia.

But after losing her mother and her job in one devastating week, she’s left with no options and forced to ask her estranged father for help. That means returning to the coastal California town where he wields near-absolute power as the head of the region’s largest oil company — and where Fenway is viewed as an outsider at best, and a political pawn at worst.

Then the county coroner is murdered.

Suddenly, Fenway is thrust into a spotlight she never wanted. Appointed as interim coroner — a move that reeks of backroom deals and her father’s influence — she’s immediately faced with a murder case that hits far too close to home. The evidence points in one direction: her father’s oil company. And in Estancia, money has always had a way of silencing the truth.

As she follows a trail of secrets, sabotage, and cover-ups, Fenway must untangle a decades-old web of power and corruption, all while balancing her own fragile loyalties. If she can’t find the killer before they strike again, her first case might be her last.

Smart, layered, and full of sharp twists, The Reluctant Coroner is the explosive first entry in the Fenway Stevenson Mysteries. For readers who love hardboiled crime fiction with a modern edge, this series delivers high-stakes investigations, rich character drama, and a protagonist who refuses to back down–even when the town wants her gone.

From New York Times and USA Today bestselling author Nicole Blanchard comes a second chance military romantic suspense!

One night with a hero.

It was only supposed to be a fling with my brother’s best friend. The same man I’ve loved since he gave me my first kiss. I knew he was about to leave for a year, but I couldn’t let him go without showing him how I felt.

One lie that could tear us apart.

Our paths crossed again, but we’re both different people. I should have told him the truth, but I couldn’t. Not when he ignored every message I ever sent. He’s no longer the man I once knew. He’s warring with his own demons, against silence threatening to swallow him, and I know if he ever learns the truth, he will never forgive me.

One love that will have to save us.

When all I hold dear is threatened, I have only one way to repair the damage. I have to trust the man I lied to. The man I never got the chance to make a life with. The only man who could save what we created together.

Zosha Paul navigates an unpredictable career, disastrous love life, endlessly critical mother, and best friend who’s been accused of murder. Which might be manageable… without ADHD.

Struggling with a company restructure, she dreams of rehabilitating the increasingly grim reputation of the HR department. But this proves extra challenging when an (admittedly unpopular) member of staff is murdered at the Christmas party.

Since ‘murdered people’ are a ‘people issue’, Zosha must add murder investigation to an already overflowing plate — complete with stalker ex-girlfriend and terminally ill father.

But as she tries to (hyper-)focus on the case, how far is she willing to go to uncover the truth and save her best friend from a life in prison?

And more urgently, can she solve the crime before she does something she’ll regret with the distractingly handsome investigating officer? (The one with the biceps.)
