What do life, love and lobsters have in common? None of them move in a straight line. At least not for Dr. Zoey St. James!

Bubbly Zoey, with her green thumbs and passion for all things artsy, was in her last year of residency, primed for a future as vibrant as her sunniest paintings. Until a series of twists upended all of her plans.

Enter, Chase Sunders.

He's a grumpalicious lawyer who's grown up in the limelight, but behind his fortress-like guard, he's hiding a heart the size of a Great Lake.

When Zoey’s assigned to treat his grandmother, a 50s starlet and former Hollywood Diva, sparks fly in the most unexpected ways. And just when she thought that life couldn't get any more complicated, she learns that Chase, driven by a mix of intentions, commits a jaw-dropping betrayal that leaves her reeling.

Will the gardener and the grump learn that love has a remarkable way of blossoming, even in the trickiest of situations?

Hint: Life, love, and lobsters may not move in a straight line, but Zoey and Chase are about to prove that sometimes the wildest twists lead to the most beautiful destinations!

Set on one of the lesser-known islands near Detroit, Still Life with Lobster is Book Three in the St. James Sisters collection. The sweet, beach romances follow three orphaned sisters and their found family through their heartwarming journeys to love and can all be read as standalone.
