Perfect for you if...

  • You work in publishing, books, or media and love seeing your industry reflected in fiction with genuine detail and humour.
  • You enjoy slow-burn romance that builds through conversation and wit rather than grand gestures, especially when books themselves are central to the plot.
  • You appreciate rom-coms with heart that don't shy away from the stakes, like You've Got Mail or The Proposal, where tension comes from real conflict.

Maybe not for you if...

  • You prefer fast-paced plots with high action or external conflict; this moves at the pace of a relationship developing through annotations.
  • You're sceptical of workplace romance tropes or uncomfortable with power dynamics between boss figures and subordinates.
  • You want romance that's explicit or steamy; this leans cosy and sweet, emphasising emotional connection over physical tension.

About this book

Savannah Cade, an aspiring author, gets a request from Claire Donovan, editor-in-chief of a successful romance publishing company, to submit her manuscript. The problem: Savannah works for a different company that dismisses romance as unworthy of publication. When Savannah nearly exposes her manuscript during a staff meeting in front of her new boss William Pennington, she hides it in a secret room. She later discovers someone has been reading it and leaving critical notes in the margins. When Claire's feedback matches these mysterious comments and gives Savannah six weeks to revise before retiring, Savannah seeks out the anonymous editor for help. As they exchange notes back and forth, Savannah grows closer to this mystery editor and realizes she's falling for him—if only she knew his identity. The novel features a workplace setting, slow-burn romance, and discussion questions suitable for book clubs. It contains workplace romance, epistolary elements, and a writer protagonist, with no explicit content.
