Off the Record

Eight global icons. One high-ranking diplomat. And a love that must stay strictly confidential.
Deputy Chief of Mission Aanya Rathore moved from London to Seoul for one reason: to bury herself in her work. Managing international relations is a chess game she excels at, and the quiet,
structured world of embassy diplomacy was supposed to be her sanctuary from a heavy past.
She planned for every political crisis-except a cosmic one.
It starts at a crowded venue when her skin flares with a golden heat, irrevocably binding her to four members of BTS. Before she can even process the international media nightmare of being fated to the world's biggest superstars, a second twist of fate locks her into a bond with four members of Stray Kids.
Suddenly, Aanya's life is split down the middle. By day, she is a sharp, composed diplomat negotiating top-tier international policies and walking the tightrope of global optics. By night, she is navigating an overwhelming, unprecedented eight-way soulmate bond with men who live entirely in the flashing lights of the paparazzi.
Protecting her career means keeping them a secret. Protecting them means staying guarded. But as the lines between her professional duty and personal devotion begin to blur, Aanya must figure out how to govern a country's relations while learning to surrender her heart.
Because when the cameras turn off, the real story begins.
