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:
he 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.

This week: I've skipped the last couple of paragraphs at the animal shelter and started Chapter 1 where we finally meet Caleb.
Caleb Hawkins fingered the dog-eared card in his
pocket as the bus ate up the miles between Pine City and
Fairfield. He should have bought a ticket to Greenville,
the little town about twenty miles outside of Pine City
where his grandmother lived. She might or might not have
been glad to see him, but it was the logical place to go.
Instead, he had spent his prison traveling money going to Fairfield, the place where Peaches lived with a lady vet. It had somehow seemed important to know that things had gone well for the dog who had been as broken and injured as he had. He also wanted to thank the woman who had saved his good friend.
Beyond that, he didn’t have any specific plans other than finding a job. Maybe he’d go back to Pine City and work at the animal shelter there. He’d rather not unless he had to, though. In that place, he would still feel like a prisoner instead of a free man. It would be better to start over in a new place with no ties to his past.
