Off the Record

A career-making story. A dangerous attraction. In Washington, the truth is the most expensive commodity of all. Investigative journalist Leah Cross lives for the truth. With a battered Columbia J-School t-shirt, a cat named Walter, and an unyielding drive, she's willing to risk everything to uncover the secrets buried beneath Capitol Hill. When a late-night, encrypted tip lands on her phone pointing to a massive political scandal, Leah knows she has the story of a lifetime. There’s just one obstacle in her way: Sloane Merrick. Flawlessly polished, guarded, and fiercely protective of her senator’s image, Sloane is the ultimate political communications director. She is the spin to Leah's truth. They are natural enemies, clashing in press rooms and sparring in the shadows. But beneath the sharp banter and the pristine navy sheath dresses, Sloane’s carefully constructed control is beginning to fracture. As Leah digs deeper into the investigation, the lines between professional rivalry and undeniable, explosive chemistry begin to blur. Choosing to cross that line means risking their careers, their safety, and everything they've built. But some secrets are too powerful to keep under wraps. Off the Record is a high-heat, enemies-to-lovers sapphic romance full of political intrigue, sharp banter, and intense, hard-earned chemistry. Intended for mature audiences.
