Blurb:
Drawn together by their love of animals, Aria De Luca and Caleb Hawkins burn for each other. They never suspected that malignant forces around them were successfully plotting Caleb’s ruin from the moment he entered her life. When the flood of a century strikes Aria’s hometown, an alienated Caleb is all that stands between her and catastrophic loss.
Except:
Prologue
Dr. Aria De Luca threw a newspaper onto her cluttered desk and reached for a tissue to dry her eyes. How could anyone let such a terrible thing happen?
Her lead vet tech Lila Monroe breezed into her office and held out a clipboard. “Sign this. They just delivered our order of dog food.”
Aria scribbled her name for Lila who vanished as abruptly as she had arrived. The cute assistant came back a couple of minutes later without a hint of her usual perky smile. “Why are you crying, Aria? Did the collie’s surgery not go well?”
Why is Aria so upset? Come back next Saturday to find out.

I suspect it is worse than the collie.
ReplyDeleteAn interesting beginning and my interest is piqued. Great snippet!
ReplyDeleteI think its definitely something bigger than just the collie. Great snippet!
ReplyDeleteI want to know what she was reading in that newspaper...
ReplyDeleteSomething's not going well in the news. Good snippet, Elaine.
ReplyDeleteI would guess her crying has a lot more to do with the newspaper than with the the collie’s surgery. Let's see next week if I'm right.
