Sergeant Tim Bradford has one job: find the ghost who left seven bodies across Los Angeles and has never once been caught. The problem? He already knows her. Two months ago she walked into a bar and into his life - sharp, dangerous, and impossible to forget. Six nights. No last name. Gone before dawn. Her name is Lucy Chen. She is everything his badge stands against. And she is the one thing he can't bring himself to give up. The case is closing in. The choice is coming. When the man who never breaks the rules falls for the woman who never follows them - who breaks first?

One year ago, Tim Bradford broke Lucy Chen's heart and walked away without explanation. Now Sergeant Lucy Chen is stronger, promoted, and determined to never let him close again. Until she's assigned to a four-month undercover operation. Living in a van. Posing as a couple. Driving from Los Angeles down the coast to Baja, Mexico. With her ex. Every touch is "for the cover." Every kiss is supposed to be fake. But the longer they're trapped together, the harder it is to ignore the tension, the memories... and the questions Lucy never got answers to. Because Tim didn't just leave. He hid something. And somewhere between fake love and real danger, Lucy is about to find out the truth - The real reason he walked away.

On her way home from University, Lucy Chen is kidnapped and forced into the dangerous world of the mafia. The boss of the mafia Empire Tim Bradford, demands her hand in marriage to expand his empire, and at first she has no choice, but to obey. She wants nothing to do with him until she sees the unexpected care behind his cold, ruthless exterior. As fear and desire intertwine, their forced marriage slowly turns into something deeper, something neither of them expected. But when a chance of freedom appears through someone from the LAPD, Lucy must take the hardest choice of her life- follow her heart, or stay loyal to the man who has captured more than just her body, but her soul.

Lucy had 2 kids. Tim was her best friend, and the kids thought he was their best friend as well. Cayden was Lucy's husband and the gather to her kids. Tim and cayden never got along.
