A family getaway with hidden complications

Paradise brings cousins Sam, Lily, and Jordan together for their annual vacation, this time at a tropical resort funded by their grandmother. The resort’s luxury and unusual freedom give the children room to experiment with new identities and bend rules, while their encounters with other young guests introduce warning signs. As they uncover what lies beneath the resort’s polished image, questions about the family emerge as well. The setup links a child-centered mystery to the pressures and secrets of a multigenerational family trip, with the exclusive setting serving as more than a vacation backdrop.

Book overview

In this suspenseful series launch, adventure and mystery abound during a multigenerational family trip to an exclusive resort.

Cousins Sam, Lily, and Jordan meet up on family vacation every year. This year, their grandmother is paying for them to stay at Paradise, an exclusive tropical resort!

Paradise offers a gorgeous beach, multiple pools, all-you-can-eat buffets, and any adventure you can imagine. The kids can come and go as they please, while their parents zone out at the beach. It's supposed to be fire.

But in this place where the other guests all seem like billionaires and celebrities, the cousins start acting like people they're not. They test new identities, break some rules, and start to mingle with other kids who should raise red flags.

Pretty soon the trio is beginning to see another side of this gleaming resort.

And as the resort's many secrets come into focus . . . family secrets start coming to the surface, too.

Book Two in the series expected Fall 2028.
