Love & Lobsters

Female lobsterman Charlie Pinkham is content with her seaside life in Christmas Cove, Maine. Surrounded by friends and community, she has always been more comfortable braving the bold Atlantic than diving into the messy business of romance. When she writes a post for her best friend's "Happily Ever Holidays" blog, Charlie’s decidedly unromantic piece goes viral. Readers connect with lobster behavior, and how they’re hardwired to protect themselves from their own species—a trait Charlie respects. Because love hurts.

Nevertheless, she can’t quell her growing interest in Logan, the mysterious and unavailable man renting her family’s lighthouse for December. Charlie looks for distraction by messaging an online stranger and by organizing Christmas Cove’s first annual holiday festival. But as her "Love & Lobsters" posts explore how lobsters show trust and commitment, Charlie must decide whether plunging into uncharted waters is worth the risk.
