On the springs of Cypress Grove, even a mermaid can find herself caught.

Leilani Kostas has spent her whole life in the water. As a Weeki Wachee mermaid, she knows exactly how to perform a happily-ever-after, even when her real life is falling apart. So when an unexpected inheritance gives her a way out, she packs up her tail, leaves the bad-news boyfriend behind, and points her old truck toward a magical Florida town. A fresh start. A mermaid bar of her own. A future that finally feels like hers.

What she doesn't expect is Remy Hastings: fisherman, charmer, and the kind of man who's never been caught by anything in his life. She doesn't expect the way the springs seem to recognize her. Or the way the women of the local coven keep wandering into Mermosa with knowing smiles and small, thoughtful gifts.

Cypress Grove has a way of working on a person. Of turning fresh starts into something deeper. Of making temporary look an awful lot like forever. And as Mermosa prepares for its grand opening, Leilani begins to wonder if some women don't just run away from old lives — they're called toward new ones.

The Paradise Catch is a cozy, magical, closed-door romance set in the world of the Crescent Moon Mysteries, featuring a professional mermaid performer, a flirty fisherman who meets his match, and a small Florida town where the water inspires love and friendship.
