My book is a medical romance. She's union and he's management.
BLURB:
Jenessa is Aries, a nurse, union advocate and likes a good fight. Eric is Libra, Director of Nursing, and believes in compromise.
Can these two find a way to uncover the underhanded events at the hospital? They’re on opposite sides but the attraction between them is strong. She’s a widow who fought to save her husband’s life during a code. She feels guilty because the love she and her husband shared had died before his death. He assisted at the code but he feels guilty since he was the one who was responsible for the short staffing the night her husband died.
Now they face falling in love and trying to solve the problems between the nurse’s union and the president of the hospital’s Board who wants a take over of the hospital by his hospital group. Is their connection strong enough to survive?
EXCERPT:
Fifteen minutes later, in her apartment across the
street, she stood in the shower. Hot water uncoiled her tight muscles, but not
her thoughts. Would the hospital Board really name Sandra Wallace, a woman
disliked by most of the nurses, as the new director? With Jim Bishop as Board
president, the choice seemed likely.
After pulling on an over-sized blue tee shirt, she
headed to the kitchen and zapped the spicy chicken dish she should have eaten
for lunch. Though she considered working on her Master’s thesis, she felt too
tired to read the stack of articles on the desk.
The apartment door slammed. She looked up and saw her
roommate. Megan kicked off her shoes. “Are you ready for a bomb? Guess what the
Board has done.”
“Sandra.”
“Is out.” Megan grinned. “Josh and I were at the Cove
for dinner. Sam introduced Eric Bradshaw. Would you believe he’s the new Director
of Nursing? And what a hunk he is.”
Jenessa pushed back long strands of dark brown hair
that had come loose from her braid. “You’re kidding.”
“Not one bit.”
“It’s a ploy. Can’t you hear Mr. Bishop’s laughter?
We’ll give the girls a man to drool over. That’ll shut them up.”
“Come on, Jen. At least they didn’t name Her.” Megan
headed across the living room, discarding pieces of clothes as she walked.
“He’s every woman’s dream. Tall, blond, broad shoulders. I positively drooled.
He’s got the greatest dimples. That’s because he’s a Libra.”
Trust Megan to ask his sun sign, Jenessa thought. Her
roommate’s description confirmed her suspicions of the Board’s motives. “Sounds
like you’re adding him to your string.”
“Wrong. A Libra and a Pisces. Odd couple material.”
Megan’s blonde curls bounced with the force of her denial. “He’s for you, my
Aries friend. Remember what I always say. An opposition can be exciting.”
Not again, Jenessa thought. For the past year, Megan’s
attempts at matchmaking seemed designed to drive her crazy. “Megan, no.”
“You can’t be alone forever.”
“You’re surviving.”
“Alone I’m not. My problem is too many and being
unable to hurt anyone.” She shrugged. “Give it a shot.”
Jenessa frowned. Megan and she had been friends since
they were five, but there were things she couldn’t tell her… Things about Chuck
and the marriage.
“I’m union. He’s management. Can you see me falling
for someone from the opposition?”
“And what will you be when you finish your Master’s?”
“Not here. I’ll work for a doctor. Head to the city.
Become a consultant.” She followed the trail of clothes and gathered them as
she walked. “With my reputation here, they won’t promote me.”

This has the ring of famous last words. ;) Guess we'll see!
Yep, "I would never" never works in romance novels!
Always interesting to see where you take us.
Nice hook. It gives us a host of things to wonder about, which is the purpose of a good hook.
Her plans in the last paragraph sound great - but somehow I figure the exact opposite is going to happen :-)
