In this warm and witty romance from acclaimed author Kate Clayborn, one little word puts a woman's business-and her heart-in jeopardy . . . Meg Mackworth's hand-lettering skill has made her famous as the Planner of Park Slope, designing custom journals for her New York City clientele. She has another skill too: reading signs that other people miss. Knowing the upcoming marriage of Reid Sutherland and his polished fiancee was doomed to fail is one thing, but weaving a secret word of warning into their wedding program is another. Meg may have thought no one would spot it, but she hadn't counted on sharp-eyed, pattern-obsessed Reid. A year later, Reid has tracked Meg down to find out how she knew that his meticulously planned future was about to implode. But with a looming deadline and a bad case of creative block, Meg doesn't have time for Reid's questions-unless he can help her find her missing inspiration. As they gradually open up to each other, both try to ignore a deepening connection between them. But the signs are there-irresistible, indisputable, urging Meg to heed the messages Reid is sending her, before it's too late . . .

I was completely absorbed by the world Kate Clayborn creates - the characters felt so real and their joys and sorrows and struggles and triumphs felt so relatable that I forgot I was reading fiction. I can't wait for the whole world to fall in love with Love Lettering!" -Jasmine Guillory, New York Times Bestselling Author of The Proposal "On the surface, Love Lettering is the story of a letterer falling in love, but in actuality, it's a novel of lush complexity, one bursting with humor, a tender melancholy, and meditations on love, friendship, and life any reader can find solace and inspiration in. It's lyrical and engrossing, a novel that possesses all the colors, idiosyncrasies, and range of the alphabet. Like the pages Meg designs, Love Lettering is a novel bursting with hidden messages essential to discover - so long as we open our hearts to analyze the codes." -A+, Entertainment Weekly "This is the first Kate Clayborn I've read. It won't be the last-this book is utterly captivating, with a voice that leaps forward and then back on itself, like a series of curling loops inked a blank page.

With smart characters and authentic di lemmas, this is a very special romance to both smile and sigh over." -BookPage STARRED REVIEW "Clayborn (Beginner's Luck) delivers an emotionally resonant love story filled with charming details of city life and the artisanal trendiness of handlettering and calligraphy that adorns the urban setting. This will be popular among the enthusiastic and growing audience for romantic comedies." -Library Journal "Love Lettering is delicious and beautiful and perfect." -New York Times bestselling author Sarah MacLean "Love Lettering made me laugh and made me cry.
