Off the Record

She exposed the scandal that took down the Prime Minister.
He was the one paid to cover it up.
Five years ago, Sabrina Ward became a household name when her groundbreaking data investigation brought down the country's most powerful political figure. It also made her enemies - none more personal than Theo Hale, the government's press strategist who spun her story into silence, until it exploded in his face.
Now? He's back.
Rebranded. Untouchable. And working in the one place she should feel safe - her newsroom.
Hired as communications director for the largest newspaper in the country, Theo is the last person Sabrina wants sharing office space, let alone morning meetings, deadlines, and editorial strategy. But when a story bigger than either of them starts pulling them into the same corner, they're forced to work together.
He's polished, unshakable, and far too good at pretending the past didn't matter.
She's focused, respected, and hell-bent on never letting him in again.
They knew each other once - rivals, years ago, back when they were both too young and too proud to lose. She remembers all of it.
She just never knew how he really felt.
Slow burn. Enemies to lovers. He falls first - and hardest.
If you've ever had to be twice as good to be taken half as seriously - this one's for you.
