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.

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.

Meet the crime-solving duo of the Florida Keys: Madison, who has all the charm of the girl next door, not to mention a deadly aim, and Fab, her best friend, a femme fatale private investigator with a taste for danger and stilettos. When their neighbor is found dead, the headlines read, “It...

Set against the steamy backdrop of Tarpon Cove's sun-kissed, tropical waters, sexy sleuths, and best friends Madison and Fab are at it again dealing with the occasional dead body.

When a body turns up at the Cottages, Madison and Fab, the sexy sleuths are on the case. But when the killer makes a habit of discarding bodies on Madison’s property . . . it’s personal.

Sexy sleuths Madison and Fab race to uncover the truth behind a horrific crime...before a loved one pays the ultimate price.

In the Florida Keys, trouble is brewing along with the coffee. Friends Madison Westin and Fabiana Merceau search for the mastermind behind gruesome warnings showing up on their doorstep.

When a man of questionable character’s corpse is found at The Cottages, beaten to death with Madison’s own gardening tools, she and her partner, Fab, set out to prove that the man’s abused girlfriend did not kill him.

This time, the girls find themselves written into the will of a friend and business partner, although his death seems anything but cut-and-dried....

Madison Westin has found herself and her bombshell best friend, Fabiana Merceau, caught up in deep trouble—yet again. This time, Fab is implicated as the only suspect in a high-profile double homicide on a beautiful private island....

Welcome to Tarpon Cove. Madison Westin has inherited her aunt's beachfront motel in the Florida Keys. The only trouble is she’s also inherited a slew of colorful tenants—drunks, ex-cons, and fugitives. First, she has to wrestle control from a conniving lawyer and shady motel manager....

Smarter and packing an attitude, not to mention her Glock, Madison Westin is back with her never-say-no style. This time trouble rolls into Tarpon Cove in the form of her ex-husband, Jackson Devereaux, whom she hoped to never see again....

When a dead fisherman rolls up on shore, Madison cannot resist jumping into her new role as Private Investigator. But she soon discovers the people in The Cove who normally gossip about everybody's business are unusually tight-lipped. With the bad tenant radar still not working, the cottages...

Dying in the middle of the summer in the Florida Keys is sweaty business....
