The Vacation

Nearly a decade ago, a family trip ended in tragedy. Jessica has never forgotten the blood on the sidewalk, the sound of her mother’s scream, or the way her life splintered in an instant.

Now, as an adult, she returns to the same Florida resort hoping to heal old wounds. The sun-soaked pool, the smell of coconut lotion, the sound of children laughing—it all looks the same. But Jessica quickly discovers that some memories don’t stay buried.

When she crosses paths with Mark, a charming father on vacation with his wife and daughter, their connection sparks something dangerous. As secrets unravel and loyalties blur, Jessica realizes this trip isn’t about closure—it’s about starting over, though not in the way she ever imagined.

Because everyone at the resort has something to hide. And when the truth finally comes out, nothing—and no one—will ever be the same.

The Vacation is a gripping domestic suspense novel that blends family drama and psychological suspense with the tension of a vacation thriller. Perfect for fans of Freida McFadden, Shari Lapena, Sarah Pekkanen and Greer Hendricks, it’s a chilling exploration of memory, obsession, and the lies families tell to protect themselves.
