Unintentional - Book Two in the
Intentional Series
by MK
Harkins
~~~~~~~~~~~~~
BLURB:
Cade,
the gorgeous song man, has every reason to steer clear of commitment and train
his soulful eyes, killer dimples, and sexy voice on every beauty swaying to his
band. So why is it that he finds himself truly, deeply and unintentionally,
fixed on the one woman who is not so easily swept away?
The
sequel to Intentional, the debut romantic novel by MK Harkins, Unintentional is
the heart-racing new work that follows the tangled thread of Cade in the
aftermath of his heartbreak in losing the one woman he thought was his soul
mate. After taking a hiatus from his job as an engineer, as well as his role in
the band as lead singer, Cade reemerges in the Seattle music scene. Enter
Laurel, the tenacious and determined music agent. Laurel is determined to sign
him, no matter how clearly reluctant he is. Though they try to resist one
another romantically, the magnetism is as immediate as it is powerful.
Unintentional
offers readers an intricate, riveting story about the fraught paces of love,
while also offering strains of heartwarming humor. With rich detail, authentic
characters, and plenty of blood-pumping romance, Unintentional is a moving and
multilayered look at how love can slip through our fingers, only to be pulled
back again at the most surprising, stirring moments.
EXCERPT:
I scan the room, taking in the atmosphere, when I notice the
fourth member of the band jump onto the stage. Oh! My jaw drops as I look at
him. This couldn’t be the lead singer. He’s, he’s…almost unreal. I rifle
through my notes with shaking hands. Sophie prepared a bio on each one, but
didn’t include pictures. Maybe if I had some warning, I wouldn’t be sitting
here like some idiot with my mouth gaping open.
What the hell is wrong with me? It’s that guy, Cade, or
whatever his name is. I’m so flustered, I can’t keep the pages in order. He is
absolutely gorgeous! What is my problem? I’m a professional. I see good looking
men all the time.
I look back over at Cade as he smiles at someone across the
bar. Oh my God, he has dimples. Could he be any better looking? Nope. I think I
just turned into a groupie. Well, maybe I’m not that far gone yet, but I’m
close. I have to get control of myself. I take a deep breath in, hoping my
heart will return its normal rate, exhale out. It didn’t work, so I try again.
I’m in the process of calming myself when Sophie asks,
“Laurel, you feeling okay?”
I look back at her. “Have you seen the lead singer yet? Sophie, that man should not be legal.”
Sophie looks up at the stage, and her expression turns to
shock.
She laughs at me. “I’d be willing to get arrested for that
one!”
Good, it’s not just me. This should be an interesting night.
I’m fanning myself, trying to order my body to calm down. I look over at
Sophie, she’s grinning at me.
What?” I ask.
She laughs. “Oh, Laurel, this is rich! I’ve never seen you
in such a state. Why don’t you go up and introduce yourself before they start?”
“No, I want to see how they perform first. Don’t you
remember? We’re going to check them out first. We don’t want to waste their
time or ours if they don’t cut it.”
Sophie shrugs. “I don’t think it would be a waste. Look at
them, Laurel. I know Cade is super-hot, but did you see the other one? I think
his name is Ayden. Can’t we just meet them anyway? Even if they aren’t what
we’re looking for, they might be in another area. You know what I mean?” She
winks at me.
