OFF THE RECORD | EMINEM

"The best stories are the ones that never make it to print."

Alexandra Bennett built her career by doing one thing every journalist is taught not to do-she listens before she writes.

Raised in a wealthy Michigan family, Alex traded the comfortable future her parents planned for her in exchange for a notebook, a press pass, and the chance to tell stories that matter. Her latest assignment seems simple enough: interview Detroit's newest controversial rapper, Eminem.

Marshall Mathers expects another reporter looking for a headline.

Instead, he meets the one person who asks about the man behind the music.

One interview turns into another. Soon, Marshall refuses to sit down with anyone else, insisting that if he's going to tell his story, it'll be to Alexandra Bennett. As his career skyrockets, their conversations move beyond microphones and recorders, revealing the parts of themselves they've spent years keeping hidden.

The only problem?

Alex is already engaged to the man everyone says she's supposed to marry.

And Marshall is the last person she ever expected to understand her.

Caught between loyalty and longing, public image and private truth, Alex begins to realize that the most important conversations happen after the recorder is switched off.

Some stories belong on the front page.

Others...
are better left Off the Record.
