"She's just my rookie." and "He's just my Sergeant." Only if it were that simple there'd be no story to tell... Lucy Chen joined the LAPD to prove herself. What she didn't expect was to be paired with someone likeTim Bradford-her no-nonsense training officer whose bark is exactly as sharp as his bite. At first, their partnership is a clash of wills, but underneath the tension simmers something neither of them dares name. When Lucy's personal life implodes and Tim's fractured relationship pushes him past his limits, the two find themselves circling closer-caught between duty, desire, and the unspoken bond that grows with every shift. From patrol calls in Los Angeles to an undercover operation in Las Vegas, where they must pose as lovers in order to bring down a dangerous drug syndicate, Tim and Lucy's act becomes harder to separate from reality. Every touch, every glance, every kiss blurs the lines between cover and confession. But with enemies closing in, secrets threatening to surface, and their careers hanging in the balance, one thing becomes clear: the most dangerous risk they'll take may not be the job-it may be each other.

There's an unspoken rule in the LAPD: if someone calls after 3 a.m., it better be life or death. So when Lucy Chen finds herself dialing Tim Bradford in the middle of the night after a nightmare, she expects silence - not for him to answer on the first ring. The call is short. Quiet. Safe. And it accidentally starts something they can't stop. What begins as a lifeline during sleepless nights becomes a ritual neither of them wants to break. Every call brings them closer - shared silences, confessions half-whispered into darkness, and feelings neither of them can admit under daylight. But when a dangerous call on duty nearly shatters everything, Tim and Lucy are forced to confront what's been growing between them - not with words mumbled through sleep, but with eyes open, hearts racing, and no more excuses. Because after so many calls at 3 a.m., they're both starting to realize... Maybe it was never just about the time. Maybe it's always been about each other. | I also post this on my AO3 account |

When former firefighter Lucy moves to the coastal town of Azure Cove, she expects blue water and a fresh start, not a town trying to set her up with its mayor and most eligible bachelor, Tim. Lucy is not looking for love, and Tim has no interest in being part of a small-town romance plot when he has important work to do, but avoiding each other proves to be impossible...and so does falling for each other.

Tim and Lucy get a chance to resume the conversation about their relationship they were trying to have when she fell asleep in her apartment the previous day, but since they talk on the shipping docks right before a dangerous operation, they don't have much time between a cathartic conversation and a firefight that results in Lucy being mortally wounded and drowning. Hopefully, Tim can get to her in time.

Determined to solve a murder case he has a personal interest in, Tim is willing to do whatever it takes, even if it means having to work with a curious, spirited analyst named Lucy. What Tim does not know about his temporary partner is that she can see and speak to ghosts. Lucy keeps her gift a secret, but she might be forced to tell Tim when an unexpected ghost proves to not only be the key to solve the case they're working but also help heal haunted hearts.

Evan and Kate were always meant to be. She knew that. He did not. But ten years into the will they won't they relationship, Kate has had enough. When she finally calls it off, she has to grapple with the reality that she is 32 with no prospects, she's a burden to her family and oh, she may just be a spinster for the rest of her life. Can Kate and Evan find a way back to each other or will the universe have other plans?

How Christina ended up in this predicament is beyond her. She did everything right. She graduated, got THE job, she even managed to snag the hot 6'5 blue eyed finance guy with a heart of gold and the personality of a retriever. She had fulfilled everything that was asked of her so the fact that she was standing in the subway station wearing an ill-fitting bridesmaids dress and a duffel bag was beyond her. When her life falls apart, Christina has no choice but to pull herself together. She will not Ian win this. When she meets a handsome ex on her balcony she has to consider - is she ready for another shot at love or will she be scorned once again?

Devin Maloney had exactly three objectives in mind for her summer: Make more money, find a rich boyfriend and move out of her parent's house (preferably directly into future rich boyfriend's abode). All of this would help convince Devin that she in fact was not such a fuck up after all. So what if she was twenty-six and hadn't made something of herself? It wasn't just her multiple jobs and her empty bank account anymore. It was the sheer number of weddings she had witnessed on Instagram that was making her physically ill at the moment. Each time she opened up her phone she held it slightly away from her. She couldn't bear to look at the screen for longer than a few moments as she rapidly swiped through the most current wedding searching for people she knew. Hoping that she wouldn't see him. Him being Christian Parker, the situation-ship that seemed to never amount to anything. Christian ebbed and flowed through Devin's life that most of her major milestones were synonymous with him in one way or another.

One office. Tree Days to get the job done. And to make it even worse - I have to work with my biggest enemy. Mia is a team lead at a software development startup. She doesn't just love her job - she also adores all of her coworkers. And even more importantly, everyone loves her back. Everyone except Noah. He's another team lead at the company, and he seems completely immune to her friendliness. Mia has no idea why, but no matter how hard she tries, befriending him has been utterly impossible. Normally, that's not much of an issue. They only cross paths occasionally. And when they do, it's as if they've made an unspoken agreement: keep as much distance as humanly possible. But then a mistake forces them to spend the next 72 hours working together. In the same office. A nightmare for both of them ... or maybe something else?
