She came for the science. She didn’t expect to fall for the myth.
Dr. Magdalena “Lena” Vance has spent her career being the smartest woman in the room and the most ignored. A geological survey brings her to the caves outside Coldwater Springs, where she plans to map the land, dodge her arrogant team lead, and get out. Instead, she falls into an underground spring and the arms of a god.
Nahuél has been bound to the waters for centuries, forgotten and cursed to remain hidden. But Lena awakens something in him: ancient, aching, desperate to rise. She shouldn’t be able to see him. She shouldn’t want to return. But she does, again and again.
Taken by the River God is a standalone Monsters of Coldwater Springs novella featuring: a sharp, underestimated heroine; a forgotten god bound to sacred waters; magical bonds, touch-starved devotion, and steamy encounters in dark places. For fans of wild magic, ancient love, and monsters who worship their women first.
