Meet Me in the Margins

Meet Me in the Margins follows Savannah Cade, an assistant editor at a traditional Nashville publishing house where commercial romance is treated like literary junk food. Secretly, Savannah dreams of becoming a romance author, and when a major editor asks to see her manuscript, she scrambles to finish it without anyone at work finding out.

But after Savannah hides her pages in a secret attic room, someone finds them—and starts leaving sharp, funny, painfully accurate notes in the margins. As the anonymous editor helps her transform the book, Savannah also begins to question her family dynamics, her lingering heartbreak over her ex, and her growing feelings for her intimidating new boss, Will Pennington. What begins as a secret critique turns into a tender, witty romance about being seen, valued, and brave enough to pursue the story you really want.
