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.

Eric closed the bedroom door behind him, stretched out on the couch and used the WiFi Lori shared with Ben to go online. As much as he liked her apartment, right then he wished he were at his own place so he could work out and burn off some of the frustration caused by putting her to bed without him. Nonetheless, he wasn't about to leave her here on her own. He checked his e-mail automatically, saving the now-familiar threat from the WYRM hacker and deleting a bunch of Spam. He replied automatically to one or two routine messages, including one from Dave.
