When seasoned LAPD officer Tim Bradford's rookie, Lucy Chen, proves herself under fire during a winter foot pursuit, an accident leaves Tim critically injured with a broken arm and leg. Forced to rely on someone for the first time in his career, he discovers that Lucy, his rookie and the officer he has trained and mentored, is willing to stay by his side. As she tends to him during his recovery, the professional boundary between training officer and rookie begins to blur. From awkward dependency to quiet companionship, their shared time fosters trust, vulnerability, and a slow-burning attraction neither of them expected. Set against the gritty realities of LAPD life, Between Duty and Desire is a story of resilience, personal growth, and love built from the unlikeliest of circumstances. Tim and Lucy must navigate their evolving relationship while balancing duty, trauma, and the challenges of learning to let someone in-and realizing that the strongest partnerships can be both professional and profoundly personal

She's someone who doesn't give a F about anyone. Her hair is messy but it made her look hot and prettier. Her sharp eyes make me feel weak. Her cold personality gives me comfort and warmth. She loves music and likes playing electric guitar. She's sarcastic and has a dark humor. She's someone... intriguing. .... This is a love story about two classmates.

"Sometimes, what you're searching for finds you when you're not even looking." Amber is struggling to keep up with her history lessons-until an unexpected encounter in the library changes everything. Will she manage to focus on her studies, or will a new, unexpected distraction take over her heart?

Lucy Chen is a 40-year-old doctor. She is one of the best surgeons. Every patient immediately falls in love with her. Every child she treats draws her a picture. There is no one who does not like her and thank her for saving their life. She is also popular among her colleagues. She has only one close colleague, nurse Tamara. Otherwise, she is not particularly close to anyone else. She has a boyfriend of 18 years. His name is Emmett, and they have a daughter, Lori. She is 15 and is Lucy's sweetheart. Even though she is 15, she is sensible and does not act out like a typical teenager. Emmett and Lucy are not married. Lucy never wanted to get married, and neither did Emmett. Emmett is a firefighter, but he is often away, and lately he has been disappearing so often that Lucy suspects he has found someone else. Over time, things between them have not been the same as they used to be. For the last 5 years, they have been more like roommates with benefits. But Lucy wanted Lori to grow up in a complete family. Tim Bradford works at METRO. He is 44. He loves his wife with all his heart. He always rushes into everything. Everyone tells him that one day it will come back to haunt him... especially his 15-year-old daughter, Ave. Ave is everything to him. She is the center of his life. He has been alone with her since she was a baby. Her mother packed up and left one day. No one knows where she went or even if she's alive. Tim got used to being alone with Ave. Since Isabel ran away from him and little Ave, he hasn't had anyone else. He doesn't want anyone else.

Lucy Chen, a strong-willed psychology student, and her infuriating neighbor Tim Bradford, a grumpy bar owner and former military man. From the moment they meet, they can't stand each other - or so they claim. What starts as a neighborly feud soon evolves into something far more complicated and magnetic. With heated arguments, lingering glances, and unexpected moments of softness, Lucy and Tim are forced to confront a growing connection they never saw coming. Sometimes, love really is just across the hall.

Just two friends who decide to have a baby together...

Chenford love story, happy chenford.
