Marrying Mike... Again
STREETS OF FIRE
Sandra Aikens knew taking over as her crime-plagued city's new police chief wasn't going to be easy. The men in her department weren't exactly happy about taking orders from 'some woman.' And that went double for one man in particular - Detective Mike Rawlings, the ex-husband she'd never quite gotten out of her system...
But the city was close to the flash point, and she needed him desperately - his street smarts, his strength - to keep it from exploding. And that meant spending day after day with this man who had hurt her so much - and trying to keep control, even as an undying passion burst into flame again...

This was a very good second chance at love story with a couple who have been divorced for four years and best of all has a celibate hero.
Sandra Aikens has just become the new Chief of Police and it is a tough job, since the cops are not happy to have a civilian and rich woman at that tell them what to do and also the city is in turmoil, the blacks versus the cops, the poverty and the violence and one of the cops on the force is her ex-husband Mike and his partner Rusty who hates her guts.
Both of them had a whirlwind romance that crashed and burned when love didn't prove enough, mistakes were made on both sides and both of them saw that and the distance made them realize how to work through them. Sandra was too used to control and her wealth while Mike pretended to be too easy-going making Sandra feel shut out sometimes but the moment Sandra and Mike start working together it is like nothing changed, they fight but also talk which sometimes hurts but are helps them as well. The words of love come easy as they always did.
Mike makes her see that there are some spaces reserved for others like his partner while Sandra realizes that it is okay to lean on someone and in the mix of all this they have a potential situation to deal with, threatening the community and the cops.
I didn't like Mike's partner for most of the book but well he had an epiphany in the end.
