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. Remember. Books make great Christmas gifts.
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:
“It’s the way I’d feel,” she assured him. She assessed him for a moment. “We have a girl out on maternity leave. Would you be interested in filling in here until she comes back? We’re looking at a six week time frame.”
Were vets and animal shelter directors all nice people, or had he gotten lucky to meet two women willing to give him a second chance? He should probably head on over to Greenville, but the prospect held little appeal. Peaches sighed and licked his hand again. “That sounds real good. When do you want me to start?"
This week: I skipped a few sentences between last week and today. Aria just told him to report tomorrow, and he said yes. We're picking up after Caleb leaves the vet's office.
Aria watched as Caleb shouldered his pack and walked down the driveway. She had offered to drive
him to the motel, but he had turned her down, saying that
after spending three years sitting in prison, he enjoyed
walking.
She didn’t know what she had expected, but
whatever
it was it didn’t fit Caleb Hawkins. The man could have
been a male model, selling everything from designer
clothes and jewelry to outdoor sports equipment. He stood
about six one and didn’t have an ounce of fat on him. The
way his muscles bulged
when he picked up his pack had
sent a thrill racing through her. His hair was dark, his eyes
a deep blue shade that reminded her of the sky just as the
sun set in the evening.
Would she regret offering him a temporary position?
Maybe, but probably not. Mel
issa’s maternity leave would
be up in six weeks so he wouldn't be around forever.
