The Lotus Inn
March 2, 2027
A small-town romantic suspense featuring three sisters, a dilapidated family, inn and the will that changes everything…
Dr. Aji Chawla is still reeling after her divorce and hospital layoff when she receives news that her estranged father passed away. As the dutiful eldest daughter, she returns to Misty Pines, a quiet town in the Pocono Mountains, so she can attend the funeral and support her mother. There, she encounters the last person her father was supposed to meet the night he died: her ex-husband’s older brother, Rohan.
Before she can interrogate Rohan about his presence, Aji learns that her father left a will which requires all three Chawla daughters to live at The Lotus Inn for six months. Together. If they walk away, the inn—and the valuable land it sits on—goes to the local Hindu temple. Aji and her sisters reluctantly agree to the terms, but it becomes clear someone in Misty Pines wants them gone.
After a series of escalating incidents with the local townspeople and temple, Aji begins to suspect that her mother is keeping secrets while her father was blackmailed before his death. The only person she can trust to help her find the truth and to protect her mother and sisters is Rohan…but trusting another man, let alone her ex-husband’s brother, was never part of her plan.
Aji has six months to save the Inn. Before her time is up, she just might lose more than just her heart.

BOOK BUZZ
“The Lotus Inn pulled me in from the first sentences and still hasn’t let me go. Profoundly moving, deeply romantic, and deliciously twisty, Nisha Sharma has written one of my favorite books of the year and a must-read for romantic suspense fans.”
—Catherine Cowles, New York Times bestselling author
“Deeply emotional, delightful, and absolutely razor sharp, The Lotus Inn took my breath away. The story is constructed with care, and Nisha’s writing is both soft and deliberate. Aji and Rohan’s love story embodies my favorite kind of romance: tender, tension-filled, heartachingly vulnerable, and hopeful as hell. This book should be on every small-town romance reader’s shelf.”
—Lyla Sage, #1 New York Times bestselling author
