They swore it was just one night-then came the stolen glances, the secret smiles, the fall.Fresh out of the police academy, Lucy Chen is ambitious, sharp, and ready to prove she belongs on the streets of L.A. What she didn't expect? Being paired with the one training officer everyone warned her about: Officer Tim Bradford stone faced, cold-hearted, and impossible to impress.From day one, they clash. He's all rules and structure. She's instinct and heart. But under the tension is something else something neither of them want to name.Then one brutal shift, Lucy gets hit with a bad period and tries to tough it out. Instead of brushing her off, Tim sees right through her pain... and surprises her with quiet care.That moment should've meant nothing. A week later, they hook up. Once. They agree it was a mistake. But working twelve-hour shifts in a patrol car together makes forgetting impossible-and pretending they don't feel anything? Even harder. Lines blur. Walls break. And when feelings start to rise, so does the danger-on the streets... and between their hearts.

On a board filled with traps, two sides wage a dangerous battle beneath the façade of a public alliance between nations. On one side stands Tim Bradford, the newest recruit of the U.S. Intelligence Department, though nothing about him screams rookie. At forty years old, he's been a cadet, a squad leader, a police officer, and a sergeant. Now, a hardened spy, thrown into a world where one wrong move means death. On the other, Lucy Chen - the trusted right hand of the most powerful Russian crime syndicate. A girl whose past everyone judges to know. And Tim's mission. There is no loyalty strong enough. No lie safe enough. Only one can survive. And falling in love might be the deadliest move of all. Buckle up. The game is about to begin. | i also post this on AO3 |
