Savannah Cade is an acquisitions editor at the high brow Pennington Press which publishes literary fiction and nonfiction. She has two secrets. The first is that she's writing a romance novel under the pen name Holly Ray. The second is that she's found a hidden room in the attic of her office. When she sends her manuscript to an editor, she's given 44 days to improve it before that editor retires. Savannah leaves the manuscript in her secret room one day, and comes back to find that someone has made editorial notes. At first she's offended at the criticism, but when she realizes these notes are from the editor, she decides to take the advice. As Savannah improves this manuscript, she tries to figure out the identity of her mystery editor.

Has Romance?
There is a medium level of romance in Meet Me in the Margins, characterized by developing chemistry but not fully fleshed-out relationships.
From The Publisher:
You've Got Mail meets The Proposal-this romance is one for the books.
Savannah Cade's dreams are coming true. The Claire Donovan, editor-in-chief of the most successful romance publishing company in the country, has requested to see the manuscript Savannah's been secretly writing. The only problem: she's an editor for a different company, and their philosophy is only highbrow works are worth printing and romance should be reserved for the lowest level of Dante's inferno.
But when Savannah drops her manuscript during a staff meeting and nearly exposes herself to the whole company-including William Pennington, the new boss and son of the romance-despising CEO herself-she has no choice but to hide the manuscript in a hidden room.
When she returns, she's dismayed to discover that someone has not only been in her hidden nook but has written notes in the margins-quite critical ones. But when Claire's own reaction turns out to be nearly identical to the scribbled remarks, and worse, Claire announces that Savannah has six weeks to resubmit before she retires, Savannah finds herself forced to seek the help of the shadowy editor after all.
As their notes back and forth start to fill up the pages, however, Savannah finds him not just becoming pivotal to her work but her life. There's no doubt about it: she's falling for her mystery editor. If she only knew who he was.
"Meet Me in the Margins is a delightfully charming jewel of a book that fans of romantic comedy won't be able to put down!" - Kristy Woodson Harvey, New York Times bestselling author of Under the Southern Sky
