Lobster Bay

Claire Turner finally has everything she wants. A successful business, a small bungalow near the beach, and the camaraderie of her two best friends. She's successful and independent - something she would have never thought possible before her husband's mid-life crisis and their subsequent divorce. When a rival business opens across the street, Claire worries that she could lose everything she's worked for.

Things are changing for Jane Miller. Just as her friend Claire gets on her feet again from a near-catastrophe with her bakery, Jane faces challenges with the beachfront bed-and-breakfast her family has owned for generations. Her mother is no longer able to run things and Jane finds herself in charge.

Maxi’s life is about to change, but not in the way she expects...Maxi Stevens is at a crossroads. Things between her and James haven’t been the same since their kids left the nest. When she finds proof that indicates he may have strayed, she strikes out on her own. James’ infidelity has a silver lining, though. Maxi can finally do all the things James wouldn’t approve of like pursuing her lifelong dream of becoming an artist. But everything is not as it seems. James wants Maxi back and will do anything to win her over.

Andie always wanted something more than small-town beach life. That’s why she worked so hard at her prestigious career as an antique appraiser in New York City. She does have one regret, though: She never got to make that one big important antique find of a lifetime. Now that her mother’s illness has brought her back to Lobster Bay, it’s unlikely she ever will. But even though she appreciates spending time with her aging mother and loves that she’s reconnected with her sister, Jane, Andie needs something more.

Liz Weston’s life has reached rock bottom. Her husband dumped her, her life savings are gone, and her apartment is being turned into condos that she can’t afford. Maybe she shouldn’t have taken early retirement last year? In her late 40s, she has limited possibilities for employment. When her elderly father passes away, she heads to her hometown to clean out the family home. Staying at the beachside inn is a blessing because there’s no way she’ll sleep in her childhood home. But when she befriends Jane Miller, the owner of Tides, her life slowly starts to change.

At age 70, Bunny Howard is determined to prove that she is just as useful as anyone else. Who knew it would be the new bookclub at Tides that would provide the opportunity? They are deep into a murder mystery, and Bunny has noticed that the strange behaviors of the Inn’s mysterious guest are eerily similar to that of the killer in the book!

It's Winter Prelude in Lobster Bay—the calm before the holiday storm where the streets sparkle and businesses hustle with pre-holiday sales. This year, however, brings more than twinkling lights and festive displays. Jane's inn hosts four old friends who share a history with Lobster Bay. Among them, one is holding onto an unfulfilled Christmas wish. Is this the year it finally comes true? Claire's dog biscuit business, Beach Bones, hits a snag when her ex-husband's new wife launches a rival brand with the same name. Can the two women come together and work things out?
