Meet Me in the Margins cover

In this charming romance, Savannah Cade navigates the challenges of love and ambition while secretly writing a manuscript, leading to unexpected connections.

In Meet Me in the Margins, readers are introduced to Savannah Cade, a talented writer whose aspirations are on the verge of being realized. The esteemed Claire Donovan, editor-in-chief of a leading romance publishing company, has shown interest in Savannah's manuscript. However, Savannah faces a significant challenge: she works for a rival company that holds a disdainful view of romance literature, believing it to be beneath serious literary standards. This conflict sets the stage for a delightful romantic comedy that explores the intricacies of love and ambition.

The plot thickens when Savannah accidentally drops her manuscript during a meeting, nearly revealing her secret to her colleagues, including William Pennington, her new boss who is the son of the company's CEO. In a panic, she hides her manuscript in a secluded nook, only to discover later that someone has been reading it and leaving critical notes in the margins. This unexpected twist forces Savannah to confront her fears and seek help from this mysterious editor, who turns out to be more significant in her life than she initially realizes.

As Savannah and her shadowy editor begin exchanging notes, their connection deepens, and she finds herself falling for this enigmatic figure. With a clever blend of humor, romance, and literary themes, Meet Me in the Margins captures the essence of what it means to pursue one's dreams while navigating the complexities of love. This book is not just a light-hearted read; it also includes discussion questions, making it ideal for book clubs and gatherings with friends.
