Downloading November (New Orleans Series Book 11)

India Sheridan knows that her long-term on-again, off-again relationship is over, but that doesn’t mean she enjoys watching her ex fall in love with someone else. Moving on isn’t as easy as she hoped it would be, but as she struggles through that, she’s given a project to buy up the land next to her office. The only problem is that an old bookshop sits on that lot, and when she stops by one afternoon to get the lay of the land, she meets the shop’s cute owner.

Maisie Lincoln is running her family’s legacy into the ground, but it’s not her fault. People don’t read books how they used to. She’s been trying to get historical landmark status for her shop for years, not only to protect it but also to attract more visitors, but after multiple denials, she takes matters into her own hands and runs for city council, hoping to help herself from within the belly of the beast.

When Maisie meets India, she’s taken with her immediately. They’re very different people, and that’s more than obvious to both of them, but there’s an even bigger issue. When they met, India didn’t tell Maisie that the wealthy incumbent whom she’s running against and who has threatened to take Maisie’s shop is her brother, who only sees his seat as a stepping stone to something greater.
