Off The Record
by Jennifer O'Connell

From the bestselling author of Bachelorette #1 and Dress Rehearsal comes a delightful and utterly hilarious new novel with an irresistible heroine who's about to have the adventure of her life...

There's no way a rock star would ever write a song about Jane Marlow. She isn't the type to wear red garter belts or rhinestone butterfly thongs under her conservative navy blue suits. She's a true-blue good girl: plain, predictable, and a perfectly responsible estate attorney.

But then Jane's brother, Andy, catches an episode of Music One's "Off the Record," and discovers that former pop sensation Teddy Rock is actually their childhood neighbor Theodore Brockford...and his one-hit wonder twelve years earlier wasn't just a catchy tune that took the charts by storm—it was a song about Jane Marlow. Jane can't believe it—especially since she's nothing like the lively girl in the song.

When Teddy Rock's reluctant muse is forced into the public spotlight, lawerly Jane has a chance to live life off the record—but is she ready for the changes it brings? And even if she's willing to take the risk, is she willing to face the music?

Jennifer O'Connell's Bio

Although she's written about a reality dating show, a prescient pastry chef, and a woman who inspired an 80's rock hit, Jennifer has not spent hours dissecting The Bachelor, she can barely follow the directions on the back of a Betty Crocker box, and she can only dream of a long-haired, guitar-thrashing rocker even giving her a second glance.

While she cringes at the thought of being called Jenny again after all these years, her teen books, PLAN B and THE BOOK OF LUKE, are published under Jenny O'Connell by MTV Books (March 2006).

Her days as a high school senior may be long behind her, but Jennifer did receive her B.A. from Smith College and her M.B.A. from the University of Chicago. A market strategy consultant, she lives outside Boston.
