Searching for Someday

Kate Seymour runs a successful matchmaking business, Kinnections, using “science and skill” as well as her inherited ability to find a soul mate with a magic, electric touch. Cynical divorce lawyer Slade Montgomery thinks love is a by-product of oxytocin and that Kate’s agency is a fraud that preys on the desperate and lonely. When he becomes a Kinnections client to prove his point, his list of traits desired in a woman makes it clear that Slade and Kate are beyond incompatible, and she dutifully tries to find him a partner. But the literal crackle of electricity when they touch tells Kate that Slade is her destined love. Bestseller Probst (the Marriage to a Billionaire series) creates a likable cast, refreshing female friendships, and a slight paranormal element that enliven this otherwise predictable opposites-bicker-their-way-into-bed story, and Kate’s paraplegic pit bull, Robert, steals the show. Agent: Kevan Lyon, Marsal Lyon Literary Agency. (Nov.)
