Single and surrounded by friends and community, Charlie has always been more comfortable braving the bold Atlantic rather than diving into the messy business of romance. When she writes a post for her bestie'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.

Still, she can't quell her growing interest in Logan, the mysterious and definitely unavailable man renting her family's lighthouse for the month of December. Charlie looks for distraction by DMing a stranger online, and organizing Christmas Cove's first annual holiday festival.

But as her Love & Lobsters posts explore the ways lobsters display trust, commitment, mating rituals, and sexy time, Charlie must decide if plunging into uncharted waters is worth the risk.
