The Margins of Us

Some stories are found on the page. The ones that change your life are written in the margins. Brandon has built a quiet life among the shelves of Oak & Ink, the little bookstore he calls home. Protected by a carefully guarded secret, he's convinced some chapters are better left unopened. Then Isla walks through his door carrying a box of books she never imagined she'd have to part with. After trading the warmth of her family's farm for the uncertainty of the city, she's still trying to find her footing and a place that finally feels like home. When Brandon discovers she's left her heart spilled inside the margins of her books, he finds himself falling for the woman behind the words. What begins with shared stories, lingering conversations, and coffee-stained pages, slowly becomes a love neither of them saw coming. Some secrets have a way of rewriting even the most beautiful of stories. Sometimes the greatest love you'll ever find, isn't written in the text at all- it's what you read between the lines.
