Unscripted
About this audiobook
When America's sweetheart pop star has a panic attack backstage, the last person she expects to help is the NFL's most guarded quarterback. In a world of manufactured images and careful scripts, their unexpected connection forces both to question everything they thought they knew about authenticity - and themselves.
Pop sensation Aria Anderson has perfected the art of being perfect. With triple platinum albums and a squeaky-clean image, she's the music industry's golden girl. But when her manipulative ex-producer announces a tell-all documentary, the cracks in her carefully constructed facade begin to show.
Derek Foster, star quarterback for the NY Thunder, has his own battles with living under constant scrutiny. Behind his media-ready smile and impressive stats lies a thoughtful introvert who'd rather read philosophy than give press conferences.
Their worlds collide in an unguarded moment that goes viral, pushing both to confront the difference between the roles they play and who they really are. As Aria fights to reclaim her voice and Derek faces career-altering decisions, they discover that finding yourself means risking everything you've built - including your perfectly scripted life.
A powerful story about authenticity in a world of manufactured feelings, UNSCRIPTED explores what happens when the cameras stop rolling and the real performance begins.
About the author
Katy Harper writes love stories for anyone who's ever multitasked their way through a romantic moment or found their soulmate while wearing mismatched socks. A champion of perfectly imperfect love, she creates novels where real life's chaos meets romance's possibilities.
Between juggling deadlines and an ever-growing collection of half-empty coffee mugs, Katy crafts stories about characters who find love when they least expect it – usually while their lives are already complicated enough, thank you very much. Her writing space features a chair permanently claimed by her demanding rescue cat, approximately seventeen "emergency" chocolate bars, and a planner that keeps optimistically suggesting she develop better time management skills.
A firm believer that love stories happen in real life every day, Katy writes for anyone who's ever made a grocery list on the back of a love note or scheduled a first date around their kid's soccer practice. Her characters, like her laundry pile, are perfectly imperfect – complete with emotional baggage that definitely exceeds the recommended limit.
When not writing, she's either trying to convince her local coffee shop that "writer in residence" should be an official position, adding to her collection of unmatched socks (which she insists is a fashion statement), or explaining to her cat why walking across the keyboard is not an acceptable form of editorial feedback.
Katy believes in the magic of everyday love stories, the healing power of a good laugh, and the absolute necessity of backup chocolate bars. She writes the kind of books she wants to read: stories where real people find extraordinary love in the midst of ordinary chaos.
