Reuniting lovers -- Highly recommended

History teacher Megan Cahill returns to the small town of Serenity, Texas in an effort to heal following the devastating loss of her baby and divorce from her husband. Wounded that the man she gave her heart was absent when she needed him most, and still grieving the loss of her infant, Megan does not allow anyone within her carefully erected defenses. Then someone abandons an infant on her doorstep, and Megan suddenly finds her heart on the line.While she would like to pretend the child could replace her own lost child, Megan knows she can't keep him. But an overburdened foster care system allows her to care for the child while her ex-husband, sheriff Jake Cahill, investigates. Although Jake followed her to Serenity in an effort to win her back, Megan has declined his interest, believing his love for his former job will eventually lure him back to the big city and result again in long, absent nights. On the other hand, Jake has not given up on winning his former bride back; perhaps their joint efforts for this child will bring them together.Stories that reunite lovers are especially endearing, especially when tragedy originally destroys the relationship and results in divorce. Certainly no one tells such a tale better than Nikki Benjamin in ROOKIE COP. Benjamin delicately balances the major plot of love, forgiveness and redemption with the secondary plot of the abandonment of an infant. Indeed, this marvelous author pulls no punches as she describes Megan's feelings of abandonment when her FBI husband puts his career ahead of his family. She likewise deftly reveals Jake's feelings of guilt and pain as he comes to understand the devastating effects of his actions on his ex-wife. ROOKIE COP comes highly recommended.
