STATIC CLING
When the world goes dark, the only thing left to hold onto is the person you were never supposed to touch.
Torren 'Tower' Gage was once the king of the high line, but a devastating eighty-foot fall shattered his body and his ego. Now a cynical recluse in a mountain cabin, his solitude is destroyed when his estranged sister abandons his six-year-old niece, Zoe, on his doorstep. Physically unable to care for the child, Torren is forced to hire Lyra Cross, a pediatric physical therapist passing through Stormhaven with secrets of her own.
Lyra is a fugitive on the run from a ruthless corporate fixer. In the isolated beauty of the Gage cabin, she finds more than just a place to hide. As she helps Torren navigate his recovery, their 'clinical' relationship transforms into a searing attraction. But the 'competence kink' goes both ways, and as Torren teaches Lyra how to survive the elements, they realize they are much stronger as a unit than they ever were alone.
When a hundred-year blizzard cuts them off from the world, the ghosts of Lyra’s past finally track her down. With the local dam rigged for destruction and his family in the crosshairs, Torren must decide if he’s willing to destroy what’s left of his body to save those he loves. In a high-voltage climax atop a concrete monster, a broken titan must prove that even a damaged line can carry the heaviest load.
