Static Resistance and Rose

by Lee Roland

Master Electrician Rose Norris is wiring a new hotel on a Florida beach when a lethal, high voltage accident takes her down. Her friend Jimmy revives her with CPR, but she quickly discovers his friendship might be deadlier than the accident-which wasn't an accident at all. Jimmy's dark secret has brought gangsters from Miami seeking retribution for his transgressions in their world. Rose's friendship with Jimmy forces her to play their game, but the mobsters find that tough, resourceful Rose doesn't make a good pawn. Sexy construction boss Ryan Vernon becomes Rose's partner, and they must fight their way through a series of complex lies to a place where friends are suspects and enemies are . . . well, so attractive that Rose forgets 'crossed wires' are big trouble. Although Ryan stands by her side, exotic Leandro, the man with the face of an angel and the soul of a killer, may steal her heart.
