Casey never expected to abandon her perfectly stable legal career in Cincinnati for the salty breeze and sun-drenched streets of Key West. But after one too many soul-crushing emails, she takes a leap—or a train, rather—straight into a world of dive bars, boat docks, and an island that seems to have a rhythm all its own. Caught between the fiery, reckless charm of musician Jake and the quiet intensity of tattoo artist Phillip, Casey isn’t looking for love—she’s looking for herself. But as she learns to navigate the tides of desire, independence, and self-discovery, she realizes that paradise isn’t just a place; it’s a feeling. With the ocean calling and the past drifting further away, Casey must decide: Is she just passing through, or has she finally found the place where she belongs? A sun-soaked, cozy romance full of heart, humor, and the pull of the tides, Fins and Flames is a love letter to Key West inspired by Jimmy Buffett’s “Fins” and the people who find themselves when they stop searching.
