Off the Record

Freelance reporter Stella Thompson has a standard for newsworthiness. Government scandals, social injustices, and most recently, trying to uncover what really happened to those three girls who went missing one summer over a decade ago. But Cole Maxwell’s sex life? It could not register lower on Stella’s radar. Until a chance meeting brings her face to face with the man she argues is not worth the page space.

Most men would be offended, but Boston’s most enigmatic bachelor is intrigued by Stella’s disinterest. With her own set of reservations about getting involved with a man who’s personal life has been headline news since boyhood, she accepts his invitation to explore his clandestine world. But getting involved with Cole has risks. If anyone were to find out, Stella would lose not only her reputation as a serious investigative journalist, but also the chance to uncover the truth behind what happened to the forgotten girls. When a rogue photograph of Stella and Cole goes viral, she is forced to choose: Write the story of her career, or become the story of the year.
