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.

They should get some sleep, but he just couldn't bring himself to let her go. They'd each made one short trip to the bathroom, but other than that, they'd maintained as much skin-to-skin contact as possible. He wasn't quite sure yet, but he had the idea that he'd enjoy holding her like this for the rest of his life.
