The investigation is over. The story is published. They are still talking.
Sloane Kovac got the story. The piece ran, the awards followed, and the Chicago outfit survived it the way it survives everything: quietly, carefully, and without comment.
Nico Ferretti read every word. He had opinions about chapter four.
What was supposed to end with the publication didn't end. The cooperation agreement is in its second year. The source relationship has become something neither of them has a name for, and both of them are too precise to pretend otherwise.
She is writing the second book. He is managing a succession that is more complicated than anyone outside the Gold Coast house is supposed to know.
And somewhere between the roof and the Lincoln Park kitchen and the word they have been saying for two years, the thing they have been not naming has become impossible to ignore.
Off the Record is Book 2 of The Underboss series, a slow burn dark mafia romance about what happens after the story runs and the people inside it are still there.
Continues in Book 3: Front Page.
Dark romance. Slow burn. Enemies to lovers. Intended for mature readers 18+.
