Ambition is on a collision course with a secret from the past...
Judge Laurel Kincade has it all-brains, beauty, and the backing of her aristocratic Old South family. As a political rising star of the Mobile area, she's the perfect candidate for chief justice of the Alabama Supreme Court-and she would be the first woman to hold that office.
Journalist Cole McGaughan has lofty ambitions too-becoming an elite political reporter for the New York Daily Journal, where he currently works as a lowly religion writer. Then an old friend who happens to be a private investigator calls with a tip that the charismatic young Judge Kincade may be hiding a secret.
Cole could break the story into national news and derail her campaign, but there's a problem. Laurel's history is entangled with his own, and he must decide if the story that could make his career is worth the price he'd have to pay. Can Cole and Laurel find forgiveness and turn their hidden past into a hopeful future-and somehow keep it all off the record?
Review :
"Author Elizabeth White paints a vibrant picture of the south and politics. Each time the book threatened to fall into a cliché, she managed to write beyond it. And each time I anticipated where the plot headed, she managed to keep me interested anyway. Each thread of the book wove together beautifully. Even the spiritual thread never felt like an after thought shoved into the story to make it fit the Christian market. Instead, it was carefully written and enhanced the plot."
"OFF THE RECORD is a thrilling read that will have readers quickly turning pages and yet hoping the story never ends. Elizabeth White has once again written a "keeper shelf" story. The characters are fresh, and multi-dimensional with flaws that make them seem all the more realistic. The story is fast paced, engaging, and fun. There are a few secondary characters I hope to see again in their own stories."
"I loooovvved this book. It was refreshing and new. The plot was excellant with twists and turns. It was heartwarming and the characters came alive. Judge Laurel Kincaid is a character not to be forgotten. I highly recommend this book!"
