Marginal Notes and Midnight Scones: A Secret Annotator, a Late-Night Book Club, and a Kiss Between Chapters

Eliza Merriweather prefers the quiet. Working at a small-town bookshop, she finds comfort in shelved stories and predictable days—until she discovers mysterious handwritten notes in the margins of returned books. Each one echoes her most private thoughts, as if someone sees through the silence she’s carefully built.

Jamie Halston, the shop’s late-night baker, notices the shift in Eliza before she says a word. When he uncovers a second annotated novel, they team up to solve the mystery. What begins as literary sleuthing turns into something far more intimate: the birth of a midnight book club, the sharing of long-held fears, and the spark of something tender between flour-dusted fingers and ink-stained hands.

But when a note addressed to Eliza by name appears, she must face the question she’s been avoiding—what if being seen means losing control of the life she’s built to feel safe?

In a story of quiet courage, found family, and love written softly between chapters, Marginal Notes and Midnight Scones invites readers to believe in the kind of connection that lingers long after the final page.

Will Eliza choose the future she planned—or the one already written in the margins?
