Synopsis
from Goodreads:
Burke
Wheeler. Undercover
cop. Devoted father. Ex-husband. For the past few years Burke's had
very little to do with his ex-wife, Abbie except insofar as she's the
mother of his sixteen-year-old son, Justin. Then comes a day every
parent fears and dreads. Something Burke's faced as a cop but never
as a father. Justin
is missing. A
runaway. Burke and Abbie know they have
to
confront their own conflicts, lay aside old animosities, if they're
going to find their son. In the process of looking for Justin, they
find each other, too.They
find each other all over again.
Stats
for my copy:

How
acquired:
From a BookCrossing member.
First
line:
“Mrs. Wheeler, I know you're upset, but if we're going to find
your son, I need a few questions answered.”
My
thoughts: Not
the best Harlequin I've read, not the worst. Didn't really care much
for the heroine. During the marriage she wanted the hero to give up
being a cop. Now they're divorced, and she still wants him to give up
being a cop. Not that he was blameless in the marriage falling apart,
but he went through a character transformation and realized where
he'd gone wrong and I felt like he grew as a person and would not
make the same mistakes. She, on the other hand, is still basically
the same person she was when the book started, though less naive
about what her teenage son has been up to. At the end he never said
he was going to give up being a cop, so I'm not sure how long the new
remarriage will last before she starts in again about that.
