Off the Record: A Forbidden Romantic Suspense

Wren Calloway is a court stenographer who has spent six years taking down other people's worst days word for word. Her father went to prison for the crimes of Adrian Voss, a billionaire philanthropist whose hospitals and scholarships she believes were built on blood money. When the FBI offers her a way in, she becomes his executive assistant and wears a wire under her blouse. But Adrian is not what the files described. He is exacting, controlled, and devoted to his own legitimacy like a man protecting a faith. He hires Wren knowing her resume is too perfect, and he keeps her even after he realizes what she is. Now two people who are both lying are drawn together by an attraction neither can afford, while a man from Adrian's buried past closes in and the recordings Wren makes begin pointing somewhere she never expected. If Wren is caught, she faces prison and the loss of her father's belief in her. If the wrong people learn who Adrian used to be, he dies. Staying hidden means betraying him daily, and telling the truth might betray everything. A dark, angsty, steamy romantic suspense with a controlled, protective hero whose past leaks out in small contradictions rather than speeches; a heroine who hears every lie; a forbidden love with real consequences; dual POV; and a mystery planted in plain sight.
