The drought has parched the Ohio River Valley, exposing bones that should have stayed buried.
Penelope Penny Rhodes studies dangerous things for a living, like venomous snakes, reptilian predators, anything with teeth and a bad attitude. She doesn't need saving. So when a swoon-worthy EMT with a hero complex revives her after she collapses at the fossil beds, she's annoyed, not grateful. Especially when his secret healing magic accidentally wakes up the dinosaur fossil she'd been studying.
Now Lizzy - a nimble, intelligent Dryptosaurus with sickle claws and a taste for flesh - is hunting through Louisville's storm sewers. As the body count rises and the city's supernatural underworld takes notice, Penny and Remsen are forced together by a debt, a shared secret, and a monster they created.
She's a herpetologist who loves danger. He's a healer who can't stop fixing things. The attraction between them is volcanic, but so is the friction. Penny won't be anyone's damsel, and Remsen can't stop trying to protect her. As they descend into the empty flood water tunnels to face the beast, they'll discover that some things, once awakened, can't be contained.
Not the monster. And definitely not what they feel for each other.
Nothing stays buried forever.
