Love In The Margins: A Bookshop Romance Novel

Sadie Montgomery was a New York literary agent until the career that was her whole identity came apart, and she bought a failing bookshop in a town that feels like giving up. On the back shelf she finds a self-published novel called The Salt Letters, and it breaks her open, and she writes a fan letter to the author through the address on the last page. The man who writes back is blunt, honest, and full of secrets. She does not know he is Leo Hartley, the grumpy carpenter who comes to fix her leaking roof every Tuesday, the man who drinks water from a tap like a person and keeps a 6-foot foam witch in his garage for safekeeping.

The letters become the most honest relationship of her life, and the roof man becomes the person she cannot imagine a morning without, and she is falling in love with both of them. She does not know they are the same man. And by the time she figures it out, the truth is the only thing that can save the bookshop, the festival, and everything they have quietly built together. She has to decide whether the man on the page and the man on the roof can be the same man, and whether the love she has been saving for a stranger can survive being given to the person who has been beside her all along.

Inside this warm small-town romance, you'll discover: - A love story told in letters, margin notes, and the space between what people say and what they write - A carpenter who would rather fix a hinge than admit he is in love, and a woman who refuses to be anyone's second act - A failing bookshop, a literary festival, and a town that saves itself one story at a time - A secret identity revealed at the worst possible moment, and a choice about what honesty is worth - A happily ever after earned the slow way, one honest sentence at a time

Because the truest love letter is the one you finally say out loud.
