Off The Record

Lauren Aniston has one goal: become a sports reporter who actually matters. Not another "feel-good feature" buried beneath fluff pieces while her male coworkers land the stories that define careers. She's done waiting for permission-and she's ready to earn her place as the new sideline reporter for Boston University's football team. There's just one problem: she doesn't have the job yet.

Tyler Beckett has everything-star tight end, future NFL draft pick, campus golden boy-except the one thing he's never been able to ignore: Lauren Aniston. His sister's roommate. Completely off-limits. Completely unforgettable. So he keeps his distance, even if it drives him insane. Until Lauren needs access and Tyler is the only way in.

What starts as professional convenience quickly turns into something neither of them planned for: stolen moments after practice, blurred lines between interviews and intimacy, and a chemistry they can't quite pretend isn't there. Lauren swears she doesn't date athletes. Tyler swears he can keep it casual. Neither of them are telling the truth.

When their secret relationship becomes public, it doesn't just break rules-it becomes the story. Lauren goes from reporter to headline overnight, her credibility questioned, her future on the line. And Tyler's perfect image takes its first real hit just as his NFL dreams come into focus.

Now they're forced apart by the very world they were trying to succeed in... but staying away from each other might be the one thing neither of them can do because some stories are too big to ignore, and some relationships were never meant to be off the record.
