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.

MINI BOOT Book Four in the Boot Series She's newly engaged. Raising a toddler. Planning to lead the next generation of cops. And the streets of Los Angeles aren't slowing down for any of it. Between crime scenes and coaching little league, and Sergeant Tim Bradford are finally finding their rhythm. Parenthood hasn't slowed them down-it's sharpened them. Maya is growing faster than either of them expected, and between diaper duty and night shifts, Hazel and Tim are finally planning the next step in their journey: a wedding. But balancing police work with parenting is already a challenge. Add in cake tastings, venue visits, and one stubborn flower girl, and things quickly spiral from "just engaged" to "just barely managing." With the big day set and the countdown on, Hazel leans into joy and family-even as the city simmers with tension just beneath the surface. Mini Boot is a powerful continuation of the Boot series-where romance meets responsibility, patrol meets parenthood, and one fiercely protective mother-officer learns that some of the toughest calls don't come through dispatch... they come from home.

MAMA BOOT Book THREE in the Boot Series Hazel Nolan always knew the job would be tough-but nothing could've prepared her for balancing patrol shifts with midnight feedings. As she steps into motherhood, she's determined to keep her badge, her edge, and her sense of self-even when the world around her keeps shifting. Tim Bradford thought he had it all under control-until fatherhood flipped his world upside down. Now, he's learning to navigate strollers and suspects, diapers and danger, all while trying to support the woman he loves. As Hazel and Tim face the pressure of their careers and the joys and trials of new parenthood, they'll discover that building a family takes more than courage-it takes choosing each other, day after day. The third installment in the Boot series, Mama Boot is a powerful, heartfelt story about duty, love, and the unexpected roads that lead you home. "You still think I can do this?" "Hazel, I've never believed in anything more."

BOOTS BABY Book TWO in the Boot Series Six months into her probationary year-and twelve weeks pregnant-Hazel Nolan is walking a razor's edge. Her relationship with Officer Tim Bradford is no longer a secret, but the pregnancy still is. And with her body changing and her job demanding everything she has, the pressure is closing in. The rookie exam looms. Patrol calls are getting riskier. And the line between professional composure and personal collapse is growing thin. With six months left in her training and six months until her baby arrives, Hazel knows something will have to give. The only question is... what comes first? Filled with high-stakes calls, unexpected alliances, and emotional revelations, Lines We Cross is a gripping story of love, loyalty, and what it really means to show up-on the street, in the relationship, and for yourself.

BABYBOOT Book ONE in the Boot Series Hazel Nolan knew her first day as a rookie cop would be intense. She didn't expect to wake up next to a stranger - or for that stranger to turn out to be her training officer. What was supposed to be a one-night mistake turns into something much more complicated when Officer Tim Bradford is assigned to oversee her every move on the job. He's disciplined, coldly professional, and determined to act like that night never happened. But Hazel can't forget it - not the way he looked at her, not the way her heart still races whenever he's near. She's already under pressure. One of the only women in uniform. The daughter of another rookie. Every shift is a fight to be taken seriously. And now she has to do it while keeping her biggest secret in check... and her feelings even tighter. But danger doesn't wait. The streets don't care about boundaries. And as the tension between them builds, so does the risk of crossing a line that could cost them both everything. Bold, emotional, and burning with slow-burn chemistry, Baby Boot is perfect for fans of The Rookie, forbidden romance, and strong women finding their place in a world that wasn't built for them - and breaking every rule to claim it anyway.

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.

Natalie "Nat" Hayes enlisted in the military at 18, where she met Tim Bradford and became his second-in-command. After leaving the Army together in 2007, the two joined the LAPD. Their shared background helped them advance quickly, and during their rookie year they began dating-marrying just two years later. By 2009, Tim had earned his promotion to Training Officer while Natalie was tapped for Detective, fast-tracked into Narcotics, and partnered with her Academy friend, Isabel Blake. But by 2019, everything had changed. Isabel's struggle with addiction began in 2016, and Nat had gone deep undercover in a cartel ring-six months in when a new wave of rookies joined the LAPD. Tim's life continued at the station, while Nat's path pulled her further into the shadows. Disclaimer: I don't own The Rookie-just Natalie "Nat" Hayes and her story.
