Computer science professor Eric Gordon has to find the hacker responsible for a virus on campus. When his investigations show some sort of reptile may be living in the steam tunnels under campus, he turns to biology professor Lori Tremain for help. 

Lori’s life is crazy with her tenure review looming, but she’s too curious and way too attracted to turn down Eric’s request.  Together, Lori and Eric uncover things that their scientific minds can barely imagine, along with a passion they never expected.  She doesn’t have time for love or dragons, but adventure and romance find her anyway.

Dragon in the System

The late night phone call from Eric had taken a turn, and Lori quivered at the raw desire in his tone.


Lori watched as the blush crept down over the tops of her breasts. "Yes."


"If you're not cold, then why?" His voice was pure sex and Lori wanted him here, now and inside her, desperately.


Lori shrugged, then remembered he couldn't see her. "I think so."


She obeyed, then swallowed hard as even more moisture flooded her at her own tentative touch. "Yes."


"Did you know that just thinking about you gets me hard?" His question was rhetorical, so she didn't answer. "Are you still touching yourself?"


"Uh-huh." she confessed, then gulped. "Eric, I wish you were here."
