Before the LAPD. Before heartbreak. Before secrets that would change everything.
Hunter Lopez and Tim Bradford were only eighteen when their paths crossed in Army training in 2001. What started as a rivalry turned into an unbreakable bond-and eventually, love. By 2005, they were leading their own unit: Tim as Staff Sergeant, Hunter as his Second-in-Command. Together, they fought wars no one else could understand.
In 2007, they traded combat boots for badges, joining the LAPD side by side. But life had other plans. Law school, undercover assignments, and the weight of duty pulled them apart. Tim found a new life, a new love... and a marriage that came with its own demons. Hunter left for New York, chasing justice but losing herself in the darkness of undercover work.
Years later, the past isn't done with them. Because some bonds don't break-they just lie in wait.
This is the untold story of Tim Bradford and Hunter Lopez before The New Officer began.
