If Valentina was honest, the man had a presence that was difficult to ignore. He stood confidently, naturally commanding attention without even trying. Still, every time she saw him glance toward Lucy, the softness in his eyes was unmistakable. After everything Lucy had gone through years ago, Valentina was genuinely glad she had someone who looked at her like that. _____________________ Who would have thought that a simple job change-originally just a favor for a friend-would alter Valentina's life at its very core? Moving from Los Angeles to Washington, D.C., and back again turns her world upside down. Too much has happened, too much has left its mark and a new relationship is the last thing on her mind. But when one case involving her dogs unexpectedly reconnects her with two very specific officers years later, everything begins to shift. What starts as a professional reunion slowly evolves: from coworkers to friends and eventually into something far more. A new beginning she never wanted, yet perhaps exactly the one she needs. The Rookie season 5 - ?

Completed Sergeant Tim Bradford has seen every kind of tragedy LA can offer. But nothing prepared him for the scene at the waterfront mansion-or for you. Huddled and trembling, drenched in the evidence of your husband's murder, you're a portrait of shattered elegance. You were a possession, now a pawn in a war you never wanted. Tim's job is to hand you over to protective custody and forget. But the fear in your eyes and the strength you hide ignites a protective instinct he can't ignore. From tear-stained confessions to stolen moments of peace, an impossible love blooms in the shadow of danger, forcing Tim to choose between the badge he swore to uphold and the woman he swore to protect.

Rookie cop Rose Whitley only wanted to prove herself - to the LAPD, to her family, and to the demanding training officer who seems determined to make her life hell. Officer Tim Bradford is everything she hates in a cop: cold, harsh, and rule-bound. But when a call leads Rose to a brutal drug trafficking case tied to her own family, she's thrown into a web of secrets, danger, and betrayal. Shut out of the official investigation, Rose begins to dig in secret - breaking rules, risking her badge, and pulling Bradford along with her. As the case unravels and the stakes climb higher, the line between right and wrong blurs. So does the line between hate and something much deeper. What starts as defiance turns into something undeniable, but falling for your training officer in the middle of an illegal investigation isn't just complicated - it's dangerous. In a city where loyalty can get you killed and love might cost you your future, Rose and Tim have one shot to bring the truth to light... if it doesn't burn them first.

Some people break like glass. She learned how to shatter silently. Skylar Altair wasn't supposed to wear a badge. At twenty-four, she was a certified prodigy-board-certified in half a dozen specialties, a nuclear medicine and neuro-path genius, a rising star in a white coat. The youngest. The brightest. The girl who never failed. But trauma doesn't care about your résumé. Loss doesn't care how many degrees you've earned. And the world doesn't stop spinning just because your soul flatlines. Her father died in front of her eyes when she was twelve. Her brother spiraled into addiction. And when she needed help most-when everything was taken from her in a single night-no one came. Not the heroes. Not the law. Not the system. So she stopped waiting. They taught her how to save people. Now she's going to learn how to protect herself. With the steel of a soldier in her blood and the precision of a surgeon in her bones, Skylar trades the hospital lights for sirens, scrubs for Kevlar. Becoming a cop was never the plan. But plans change-especially after the aftershock. In a city that's breaking at the seams, Skylar will have to confront everything she tried to bury: her rage, her grief, her brilliance, and the terrifying possibility that maybe-just maybe-she was meant for this life all along. Genius. Survivor. Rookie. She's not trying to be a hero. She's just trying not to fall apart again.
