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
close my eyes, trying to shut out the words. A dull, yet painful ache starts
creeping up my spine, radiating out to every cell in my body. As the minutes
tick by, the feelings become more intense.
My breath catches in my throat as a stream of
unwanted emotions rush through me.
The
torrent of loss and agony storms through my mind, while I desperately hold onto
denial, the only thing I have left. Who am I kidding? I’ve lost her. Dread and sadness are pulling
me under, making it difficult to breathe.
If
Jeremy didn’t cheat on Mattie, I know, without a doubt, she’ll be returning to
him. Jeremy will have Mattie back. My stomach roils as I contemplate that
bastard having her. It’s irrational, I know, but I’ve despised that guy from
the get go.
I
want to leave, but I just can’t. My body feels like lead as I stroke her hair,
catching her tears as they fall. She knows how I feel. I know she loves me, but
she has a history with Jeremy. She loves him more. I’ve known this all along.
Damn,
I’m so stupid. But could I really help it? As I gaze at her, probably for the
last time, I know I don’t have a chance. I love everything about her, her
smile, her laugh, her beauty – but not just the exterior beauty. It’s the person
she is.
Hell, I probably fell in love with her the
first weekend we met at the cabin in Verlot.
I need to get away. I can’t be next to her
like this. It’s too painful.
I
get up, but I still can’t leave the room, so I move to the window. I stare at
the Seattle skyline for what seems like hours. I’m rooted to the floor, unable
to leave. I know, when I go, that’s it. Mattie, or the dream of Mattie, will be
gone forever.
