BASED IN LUCYS ROOKIE YEAR. What if they need to 'let loose?'

A little chenford story cause im delulu

Lucy's friends set her up on a date the night before her big day as a Rookie.

When Lucy Chen's debut romance novel becomes an unexpected sensation, her publisher, Nyla, plans a high-profile book tour for her second release, which means facing fans and media eager to learn about the author's own love life. There's just one problem: Lucy doesn't have one. At Nyla's insistence, Lucy is paired with her editor, Tim Bradford, to pose as her boyfriend during the tour. Lucy and Tim can barely tolerate each other, but they're forced to act like a happy, in-love couple worthy of inspiring her popular books. Yet as staged smiles, scripted moments, and pretend affection start to feel all too real, Lucy and Tim begin to wonder: could their own story turn out to be the greatest plot twist of all?

Even though Tim Bradford is the best player on the L.A. Kings, his team might not renew his contract for another season because he is single. Lucy Chen, a world famous pop star constantly scrutinized for her dating life, thought her secret fiancée was the one, which is what she told the media in her excitement for her upcoming private wedding...that was canceled last minute. Their friends come up with a plan- Lucy and Tim should pretend to get married to help each other out. The only problem: faking it as a couple just might lead to real feelings.

TW: R@pe, SA, abduction Its been a year since Lucy and Tim started dating, and they've made it through all the ups and downs that come with a relationship. Lucy's finally made detective and both her and Tim are in a good place, at least that is, until Tim takes a night shift and someone comes knocking at Lucy's door.

When Lucy falls in love with a little girl named Fiona that she meets on a call, she wants to foster her, but it would be difficult to get approved as a foster parent as a single woman, so she asks Tim to marry her on paper despite the tension between them after sharing a kiss "for work". Tim agrees for Fiona's sake, but their marriage of convenience quickly gives way to more. Canon divergent after 4x22
