Dr. Molly Sprout came to the Amazon looking for impossible plants. She found something far more dangerous.
At twenty-nine, Molly is already used to being underestimated. So when she joins a research expedition investigating a section of rainforest growing at an impossible rate, she expects hostile terrain, skeptical colleagues, and maybe the discovery of a lifetime.
She does not expect him.
Hidden beneath the canopy is Akar-a towering reptilian guardian with emerald-black scales, venomous fangs, lethal claws, and bioluminescent markings that betray every emotion he tries to hide. For generations, his kind has protected a secret ecosystem where extinct species still thrive and the forest itself seems capable of healing.
And Molly soon discovers her expedition was never meant to study it.
The corporation funding them already knows Akar exists.
They want his blood.
His body.
And the regenerative secret buried inside both him and the living heart of the rainforest.
As Molly becomes the first human Akar chooses to trust, scientific curiosity turns into something far more intimate. His strange gifts become courtship. His touch becomes impossible to resist. And when the men who brought her into the jungle begin closing in, Molly must decide how far she is willing to go to protect a creature the world would rather dissect than understand.
Because the Amazon was never untouched because humans failed to find its secrets.
Something made sure they never came back.
The Creature Beneath the Amazon Canopy is a steamy adult monster romance featuring an intelligent nonhuman hero, primal courtship, forced proximity, survival danger, a protective territorial creature, bioluminescent spice, hidden ecosystems, corporate greed, and a hard-won HEA.
