Off the Record
You be my Point B, and I’ll be your Point A
Tatum Jameson has one rule — no dating co-workers.
Fresh out of graduate school, she’s determined to build her career without getting tangled in school politics, messy breakups, or situations that end in HR meetings. Playing it safe has worked so far, and Tatum intends to keep her head down and focus on what she’s worked so hard to achieve.
Enter Hayden Carter — recently divorced, frustratingly confident, and the gym teacher everyone knows by name. He’s charming, arrogant, and precisely the kind of complication Tatum doesn’t need. Hayden doesn’t do relationships, and Tatum has no interest in becoming another story whispered in the staff lounge.
But when a work trip forces proximity neither of them planned for, the line between professionalism and temptation blurs. What starts as a temporary escape from routine quickly becomes something more challenging to ignore and harder to walk away from.
Back in the real world, reality hits fast. Expectations resurface. Boundaries are tested. And Tatum is faced with a choice she’s avoided for far too long: stay quiet and safe, or finally risk wanting more — in her career, her relationships, and for herself.
