Based on the rookie TW: WILL CONTAIN SMUT! Lucy's spent four months telling herself it's enough. Chris is kind. He's steady. He's... fine. But fine doesn't keep her up at night wondering what she's missing. Fine doesn't explain why every time they're together she has to pretend - pretend she feels something she simply doesn't, pretend the disappointment isn't crushing her every single time, pretend size doesn't matter, that effort doesn't matter, that being left wanting every single time doesn't slowly hollow you out inside. It's not his fault, she tells herself. He's just... small. In every way that counts. And Lucy - quietly, achingly - is tired of settling. Tired of faking it. Tired of leaving every encounter feeling empty and unseen. Until the night she finally walks away. Until the night everything changes. Until the man she's loved longer than she's been willing to admit shows her exactly what she's been craving all along - passion, depth, intensity, and a connection so overwhelming it leaves her breathless and completely, utterly satisfied in a way she never even dared to imagine was possible. For the first time in her life, she doesn't have to pretend. She doesn't have to lie. She doesn't have to settle. But when morning brings more than just happy memories - when a sudden, terrifying realisation changes everything - Lucy is left wondering: was it worth it? Or has she ruined the best thing she's ever found, before it even truly began? (IF U CAME FROM MY ONESHOTS CONTINUE FROM THE CHAPTER NAMED ALL YOU HAVE TO DO IS ASK)

Based on the rookie TW: WILL CONTAIN SMUT Lucy Chen thought she knew exactly who Tim Bradford was: tough, strict, no‑nonsense, and all rules - the kind of officer who kept everyone at arm's length and let nothing soften his edge. But when she starts seeing glimpses of something more, she discovers he's been hiding two beautiful secrets all along: Charlie and Remi, the children he loves more than anything, and a painful, complicated past he's spent years trying to keep buried. Behind the stern exterior lies a man who was trapped into fatherhood, betrayed by the woman who was supposed to stand beside him, and left to build a life out of nothing but love and duty. As Lucy steps further into his world, what begins as a quiet understanding grows into something deeper - she learns that family isn't defined by blood or perfect beginnings, but by who stays, who protects, and who chooses to love through every broken piece. Behind the badge lies a devoted father, a man who was betrayed and left to build a family out of nothing. Lucy Chen didn't just learn who he really was - she became the home he never thought he'd find. Together, they face old wounds, shocking truths, and the return of the woman who once tore their lives apart. But through it all, Lucy finds the real Tim: devoted, gentle, and stronger than anyone ever knew. And in the end, she doesn't just fall for the man - she becomes part of the family he worked so hard to save.

While cleaning out his garage on a rainy day off, Tim discovers an old box filled with memories from his academy days. When he finds photos and keepsakes from the beginning of his friendship with Angela, he invites her over to look through them and relive the moments that started a lifelong friendship.

Based on the rookie TW: will contain smut!! Tim Bradford and Ashley have been together for almost three months, and a trip to Hawaii was supposed to be their perfect fresh start - sun, sea, and a future together. But there's one thing neither of them can ignore: Remí. Remí is Sergeant Grey's little niece, barely two years old - tiny, gentle, and still carrying so much heartbreak after losing her father, Tim's best friend, in the line of duty. With her mother unable to care for her, Remí has become a huge, beloved part of Tim's life: the little girl who calls him her best friend, who clings to him when she's scared, and who he would move heaven and earth to keep safe and loved. Ashley has never hidden how much she dislikes children, and the thought of sharing their holiday - and Tim - with Remí fills her with nothing but frustration. But Remí isn't just a responsibility to Tim; she's family. And when things fall apart, it's Lucy - his oldest, closest friend, the one person who has always seen every part of him - who steps in, not just for him, but for the little girl they both already love. If Ashley can't make space for the people who matter most to him... then where does that leave any of them?

The man in the corner-the guard assigned by our families to ensure the union is 'properly consummated' watches us with dispassionate eyes. It makes my skin crawl, but then Tim shifts his hips, and a sharp gasp tears from my throat, drowning out everything else. I bury my face in the crook of his neck to hide from the guard, inhaling the scent of sandalwood and expensive whiskey. My fingers dig into his shoulders as the rhythm builds. "Tell me something about you," he murmurs against my hair, his voice ragged but clear despite the exertion. "What?" I moan, confused and dizzy, pressing my lips to the damp skin of his neck in a desperate attempt to anchor myself. He slows his pace just enough to force me to focus, pulling back slightly so he can look me in the eye, even as his body remains connected to mine. "I want to get to know my wife."

Lucy Chen thought she had her life figured out-until everything fell apart. Two weeks after her breakup with Tim Bradford, the man who once felt like home, Lucy is barely speaking to him and trying to find her own path. Living with heartbreak (and her best friend) , she discovers something that changes everything: she's pregnant. Not ready to face the past, she asks for a transfer far from California, keeping her secret close to her heart. When she moves to Hawaii, she starts over-buys a house, makes new friends, and prepares for a future that no one could have predicted. But life has a way of turning the unexpected into something magical. Nine months later, Lucy welcomes three beautiful, spirited children into the world: two girls and a boy, each with their own quirks, challenges, and unshakable charm. For three years, Lucy raises her children with love, laughter, and stories of a man they've never met, showing them a photo of their father so they'll know what he looks like. And while she builds a life in Hawaii, her heart quietly wonders if the past will ever catch up. When Lucy finally returns to California, she's not prepared for the chaos and joy that follow. A casual trip to the station becomes a whirlwind of emotions when her children almost run into someone who doesn't yet know they're his. Tim Bradford. And when he hugs her, it's like no time has passed-but everything has changed. Now, Lucy and Tim navigate laughter, tears, and the unspoken past as she introduces their children to a father they never knew. From playground ice cream to bedtime stories, they learn what it means to be a family-messy, beautiful, and imperfectly perfect. With love, heartbreak, second chances, and three little hearts that tie them together forever, The Prince in the Picture is a heartfelt, emotional story that will make you laugh, cry, and fall in love with the chaos and wonder of family life all over again.

Lucy is Tim's new rookie, what happens when she turns out to be feistier than he expects. She has fight in her, a fire in her soul. What Tim doesn't know is that his rookie is hiding a secret that could completely derail her career.
