Taken by the River God: A Short, Spicy, Ancient God Romance by Evelyn Embers
Dr. Magdalena “Lena” Vance has spent her whole career proving she’s more than just a pretty face. Smart, tall, blonde—and constantly underestimated—she’s tired of being talked over by condescending men in cargo vests. When a cave-mapping expedition brings her to the sleepy town of Coldwater Springs, she’s determined to focus on the science, not the scenery.

Then she falls—literally—into the arms of something ancient, powerful, and very, very wet.

Nahuél has slumbered for centuries beneath the mountains, forgotten and bound to the cold, dark springs that once sang with his magic. But when a golden-haired woman trespasses into his domain, everything shifts. She awakens something in him—something primal and hungry. And for the first time in a thousand years, he chooses.

As Lena returns to him again and again, what begins as fascination turns into something more dangerous. More divine. But Nahuél is still trapped beneath the surface… and if he wants a life with Lena, he’ll have to risk everything to rise.

Welcome to Coldwater Springs, MT—where the wilderness is untamed, the monsters are lonely, and passion is a force of nature.

Taken by the River God is a spicy, short (19k word) monster romance featuring an ancient lonely god, a strong scientist heroine, steamy cave encounters, protective energy, and a guaranteed HEA. This can be read as a standalone or part of the Monsters of Coldwater Springs series. For readers who love touch-starved gods, strong heroines, and water magic! About two hours of read time.
