Welcome to Saturday Sample. We'll continue with out excerpts from Flood. I hope you're enjoying them because I really enjoyed writing the book. Flood was reviewed by RomCon Reviews. They gave it 5 stars, and in part they said,  It's the kind of story that stays with you because of the intensity of the circumstances and you remember the characters. You can read the rest of the review here .

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.

Last Week:

“Anyone who’d do a thing like that doesn’t deserve to live,” Aria cried. “Don’t such people have a conscience? How could anyone take pleasure in causing pain for another living creature?”

Nobody responded because no one knew the answer and because Ed and Peaches arrived. Well, the paper hadn’t exaggerated when it said Peaches wasn’t pretty. She was a medium-sized animal, maybe fifty pounds with over-long legs, a dull, yellowish coat, a head that was a bit

too big for her body, and a scarred back. Her ears were down; her eyes looked scared.
Aria slowly approached the pair. “Hello, Peaches.” 

This week:

She squatted down until she was on eye level with the dog. Holding out her hand, she stared at Peaches’ feet. Eye to eye contact might make the dog feel threatened.

Peaches tensed, but when Aria made no other move, she took a tentative stop forward, then another. Her nose bumped Aria’s hand.

Aria gave the dog time to inspect her before she stood. “Let’s go home, girl. You’re gonna like Saint Francis.” 

Ed passed the dog’s lease to Aria. “What’s this about Saint Francis?”
