Seeds of Change has a Jericho variety. Park has Lactuca sativa Craquerelle du Midi, which they say will still be good in June in Florida. They also have a Lettuce Summer Glory Blend, which includes heat-tolerant varieties that are not romaines.
I'm sure there's more - just search some online catalogs for "romaine", or maybe "heat tolerant".
cheers,
Marj
