Meet Me in the Margins

by Melissa Ferguson

Savannah Cade edits serious books for a prestigious Nashville publisher while secretly writing the romance novel her employer would never approve. She hides her manuscript in a forgotten room, only to discover that a mysterious reader has filled its margins with sharp but useful criticism. Their anonymous exchange becomes an increasingly personal editorial partnership while Savannah struggles to identify the person behind the notes. Clean, witty, and unabashedly bookish, this workplace romance is a cheerful choice for readers who enjoy secret identities, publishing settings, and love stories revised one page at a time.
