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.

Aria nodded even though her mother couldn't see her.

seen Peaches. When she saw him, she ran across the yard
and knocked him over.”
“Did he look like a dangerous man?”
“No, Mama, he didn’t. In fact, I hired him to fill in for
Melissa.”
“Then I want to meet him. Invite him to co
me to
dinner tomorrow night.”
Aria giggled. "Do you want me to come too, or do you just want Caleb?

Let's hope he passes muster with Mama.
