A Sapphic bookstore saving Romeo & Juliet holiday romance. Jax loves books more than anything in the world, except her grandmother. While caring for her Grandmother who took care of her, her entire life also means taking care of the family bookstore. Which these days mainly means keeping it out of the hands of the Monroes, the towns oldest and greediest family. She's served eviction papers and is told she has 30 days to raise the funds or hand over the deed to the bookstore. For years, Eliora's (El's) family has been tearing down buildings to make more money. Not wanting any part of it, she moved to New York City and became a lawyer. Now she's called back this holiday season, in hopes of her family gaining the deed to the towns bookstore.

What starts as a rivalry between the owner's granddaughter and a grumpy lawyer from the big city turns into a holiday romance of finding love where you least expect it. As El starts to fall for the small town and the holidays, she also begins to fall for Jax. And Jax learns not to judge a book by its resting b*tch face.
