"In the Florida Keys, you have to take the shady with the sunny. And Tarpon Cove has more than fifty shades of shady going on. Shady No. 1: When Brad is framed using the dead body of his crazy ex–girlfriend, the Westin family—which now includes Fab, Didier, and Creole by default—gathers to plan a strategy. Shady No. 2: Fab is having a hard time keeping her promise to go legit. It’s not her fault she tends to attract clients who want their problems solved without getting the cops involved. Trying to keep her reined in is a full-time job, and a thankless one, since Madison keeps getting roped in on “easy” jobs that wind up getting the kind of messy that requires specialized cleanup. Shady No. 3: Ferreting out the info needed to save Brad means using sources so deep in the friend–of–a–friend network they’re anonymous even to Madison. The only thing not shady is Creole’s love. Madison’s kept her promise never to lie to him. Mostly. But when the killer wafts like smoke through the cracks in the investigation, the danger reminds her she should’ve eaten dessert first more often. Because once he’s through with her, the mess that’ll need cleaning up will be her."

Unspeakable

"He promised her love. What she got was something unspeakable . . . Natalie Beaumont has is all: a charming husband, two beautiful children, and a house nestled in one of Pennsylvania's most admired suburbs. To anyone passing by, she's the picture of devotion and domestic bliss. But behind closed doors, Natalie is unraveling. And her mother-in-law won't leave her alone. Strange dreams haunt her sleep. Her husband, Martin, insists she's just tired. That she worries too much. That she should trust him. And so, he plans a trip—a surprise weekend away at his family's remote cabin by the lake. No children. No distractions. Just the two of them. Natalie is unsure but Martin is insistent. And Natalie always obeys. But what waits beyond the trees is something far darker than she could ever have imagined. Because some homes aren't built to keep you safe, they're built to keep you prisoner . . . Unspeakable is a chilling, story of control, complicity, and the dark rituals families keep buried. Perfect for fans of The Last House on Needless Street, The Push, and Sharp Objects."

Blownup in Paradise

"I’ve come a long way since inheriting my Aunt Elizabeth’s Tarpon Cove house and her beach cottages full of quirky residents. I strap a Glock to my thigh as easily as I slip into flip–flops. Even Fab is going legit . . . mostly. When she’s hired to investigate some high–end boat thefts in Biscayne Bay, I go along to do what I do best. Chat up the help to get the real story. Neither of us expected the case to explode—literally—and take out one of Miami’s richest men. And possibly a mistress, though no one’s found her body floating among the bits and pieces. Somewhere in the Miami upper–crust’s phony smiles and even phonier alibis, there’s someone who wanted to see Marshall Sacks dead. Someone willing to ruin Fab’s and my lives to keep their secret. It’ll take calling in every favor I’m owed to keep us out of trouble."

Christmas in Paradise

"My name is Madison Westin. Unless it's Christmas, in which case my official title is 'Holiday Cheermistress.' Nothing stops me from getting my ho-ho-ho on, not even my friends' Grinch-worthy attitude toward sparkling tinsel, twinkling lights, and tinkling bells. Hey, if Creole, Fab, and Didier wind up with coal in their stockings, it won't be my fault. When some bah-humbug bandit makes the rounds of Tarpon Cove, Fab and I are on the case. It's the least we can do for our loyal friends. Seasonal crime-victim disorder seems to be on the rise. Some guy in a Santa suit—well, the top half of one anyway—is robbing local banks. The cops are fingering the wrong guy. And you can bet your light-up Rudolph boxers that if we can't track the real thief down, one of my merry band of miscreants could be spending the holidays behind bars."

Calling in every one of her IOU’s—only to find some of her most reliable information sources drying up—Madison sets out to dig up what really happened to Creole.

Then Comes Baby: An Honest Conversation about Birth, Postpartum, and the Complex Transition to Parenthood

"An invaluable resource before, during, and after childbirth that focuses on the parents’ experience and well-being. The transformation to parenthood is arguably the most pivotal and vulnerable journey of a person’s entire life. Despite this, pregnant and new parents are often only provided resources regarding how to care for their baby—not for themselves. Parents need to see an authentic representation of what the transformation to parenthood is really like so that they can come out on the other side resilient, whole, and thriving. In Then Comes Baby: An Honest Conversation about Birth, Postpartum, and the Complex Transition to Parenthood, Jessica Vernon draws from her own experience as an OB/GYN and mom to delve into the physical and mental parts of birth and the postpartum journey that new and expecting parents aren’t prepared for because they just aren’t talked about. She walks readers through birthing plans, what to expect during labor, the emotional and physical reality once the baby is born, postpartum recovery, hormones, sleep, the myths of motherhood, and more. With an open and empathetic voice, Dr. Vernon shares personal stories and common issues that come up in her own practice to provide guidance, actionable advice, and support without judgment. The disconnect between the expectations and reality of becoming a parent has left many feeling blindsided, anxious, guilty, and alone. Then Comes Baby looks to change that, preparing and empowering birthing people through the physical, mental, and emotional aspects of becoming a parent."
