Earth Hunters Book #2
He sent up a quick prayer for strength. Lying close to Lenaia would be a temptation of epic proportions.
In a pulse-quickening blend of science, romance, and faith, paleontology professor Travis Perego finds himself on the verge of a discovery that could redefine his career and test his fragile new beliefs.
Following the painful loss of his sister, Travis turned to God. But he struggles between evolutionary theory and the Bible. It’s a conundrum that gets the dean’s attention, who makes at least one thing clear in Travis’s life: If he doesn’t figure things out soon, he’ll be fired.
An ambitious attempt by a colleague to reverse-engineer a dinosaur from bird DNA sets the stage for Travis’ adventure in the jungles of Costa Rica. His mission is to find the now-missing professor and the enigmatic creature.
Deep in the jungle, Travis meets Lenaia, a beautiful woman with her own mysterious agenda. Together, they embark on a quest to locate the creature. Their journey is a race against time as they face external threats and the internal struggle of reconciling their past with their present and their growing feelings for each other.
Created is a captivating tale for Christian romance readers, offering adventure, science, and heartwarming romance all wrapped up in an inspirational faith-based mystery.
