COMPLETED (And unedited) {CONTAINS MATURE CONTENT! don't read unless you can handle it!} They all went to a party together. Trish and Dez left early. They had a few drinks, saying they'd stay responsible and not over do it. And then what happens? That's their little secret they promised to keep. From everyone. The media, Their friends, their families! All because one night they had a little 'fun'.

Fifteen years after their hearts were broken, Detective Sergeant Lucy Chen transfers to Mid-Wilshire Division, seeking nothing more than a promotion and a fresh start. She never expected to come face-to-face with her past in the form of Patrol Sergeant Tim Bradford-the man she once loved, the man she had to let go, and the man who still holds a piece of her heart. As they navigate the delicate dance of pretending to be strangers in a workplace where everyone knows everyone's business, their history remains a carefully guarded secret. But secrets have a way of surfacing, especially when old feelings refuse to stay buried. With friends who are too perceptive for their own good and a past that neither has truly moved on from, Lucy and Tim find themselves facing a future they never thought possible. In a world where they once shared the spotlight as Canada's favorite on-screen couple, can they find their way back to each other in the unscripted reality of the LAPD? Or will the ghosts of their past and the secrets they keep, keep them apart forever?

He wasn't supposed to notice her. Not like this. Not in the way that makes his hands twitch and his mind spiral. Tim Bradford doesn't believe in love. He believes in control. Precision. Clean kills and quiet exits. But the night he walks into that bar and sees her-Lucy, all bright eyes and bruised past-something in him fractures. Something he can't put back. She's not his type. Too soft. Too curious. Too perfect to ruin... And too dangerous not to. But obsession has a pulse. And his is beating for her. As Lucy gets closer to the truth-and to him-lines blur between protector and predator, romance and ruin. And in the end, someone's blood will spill. Will it be hers? Or someone who gets in his way? - 18+|| ‼️

During an LAPD awards night, Lucy and Tim get stuck together at the same table. They make a pact to survive the night by drinking through it. As the alcohol loosens their guard:Lucy admits she used to hate how much Tim got under her skin.Tim confesses that watching Lucy date other people drove him crazy. They both realise the attraction has always been there.Later, when the party winds down, they end up back at Tim's place after sharing a ride. The emotional tension that's been building for years finally snaps.

Tim Bradford doesn't believe in distractions - which is exactly why Sergeant Lucy Chen is becoming one. She transfers in polished, composed, and entirely unimpressed by his reputation, meeting every dry remark with a steadier one of her own. He doesn't go easy on people, but he doesn't go hard on her either, and that line between professional and personal starts to blur in the quiet moments - shared patrol cars, lingering eye contact, the kind of teasing that sounds harmless until it isn't. She carries herself like someone who has more waiting for her than just the job, and Tim tells himself he doesn't need to know what that is. He just needs to remember she's his partner - and nothing else.

When Lucy Chen, a sharp and ambitious defense attorney, and Tim Bradford, a no-nonsense LAPD patrol sergeant, discover they've been signed up for LA's hottest new dating show without their consent, they're less than thrilled-especially when they realize they already know each other from their professional run-ins in court and on cases. Forced into close quarters with cameras rolling 24/7, the by-the-book cop and the passionate lawyer who've spent years professionally sparring must navigate ridiculous dating challenges, eliminate other contestants, and somehow convince producers (and themselves) that they're actually compatible. Between their clashing worldviews, undeniable chemistry, and the mounting pressure to either couple up or get voted off, the line between what's real and what's for the cameras begins to blur. But when the competition heats up and real feelings start creeping in, both Tim and Lucy have to decide: are they willing to cross the borderline between professional adversaries and something more-or will they walk away before anyone gets hurt?

Lucy Chen and Tim Bradford - to most people, she was just his rookie. But if you looked a little closer, there had always been something more between them. What happens when a sudden undercover assignment turns everything upside down... and forces Lucy and Tim to question the feelings they've been trying to ignore? As the mission becomes more dangerous than anything they've faced before, the line between duty and emotion begins to blur.

She knows better than to let him touch her. But behind closed doors, better doesn't matter. It's the way he pulls her close like she already belongs there. The way her breath breaks when his mouth finds her skin. The way she forgets her own name when he says it low enough. No one sees what happens in the dark. And she'd rather die than admit how much she needs it.

Lucy Chen has known Tim Bradford since she was 18, Tim was 23 he was in the military. Lucy decided to enlist in the navy. She needed a way for her mom to stop controlling her every move. One day she was out with Tim and they decided to get married.
