Five years ago, Lucy Chen slept with a stranger at a bar. On Monday morning, he introduced himself as Officer Tim Bradford, her new TO. What followed was a history of bad timing and worse choices: stolen nights, broken vows, Isabel's return, Lucy's silence - and a secret that drove them apart. By the time Lucy transferred out of Mid-Wilshire, she swore she'd never look back. Now, she's a sergeant at Hollywood. A single mom. And she hasn't seen Tim in half a decade. Until a joint LAPD project forces them into the same room again. Until the memories they buried refuse to stay buried. Until the people they are now have to face everything the people they were left behind. Enemies. Lovers. Strangers. Partners. Some mistakes don't fade. Some of them grow - into scars, into secrets, into children with eyes too familiar to ignore.

After a messy divorce from his ex-wife Isabel-brought on by her spiraling drug addiction-Tim Bradford finds himself raising two young children on his own. A newborn who won't stop crying and a toddler who won't speak or smile. Exhausted, overwhelmed, and at the edge of breaking, Tim doesn't know what else to do. That is until Detectives Angela Lopez and Nyla Harper recommends someone-Dr. Lucy Chen, a warm-hearted child psychologist with a gentle way of unlocking even the most closed-off hearts. As Lucy starts working with Tim's daughter and soothing the cries of the newborn with ease, Tim finds himself watching her more and more. And maybe-just maybe-he starts to believe that healing is possible. For him. For his kids. For all of them

When Tim gets offered a prestigious promotion in San Diego, he's ready to take it-finally choosing himself and his career for once. Lucy congratulates him with a brave face, all while hiding her heartbreak. Everyone's thrilled for him... except Lucy. And on the night of his farewell party, surrounded by drinks, speeches, and goodbyes, Lucy finally snaps. She confesses her love in front of everyone-and it changes everything.

Isabel has disappeared but Tim divorced her or he tried. Before he left LA he put a divorce paper on 'their' coffee table and a pen. He doesn't know whether she signed it or not but he just needed to get out of LA. He left his job, his 'wife' but he had to. A weight was weighing on him like a brick. What will happen next??? Lucy lives in a small town called Santa Monica. Just outside of LA. She owns a bar with her best friend Angela. Lucy hasn't always had the best of luck with love. They either left or she didn't trust them or they were lying liars who lied.

Lucy Chen is an accomplished matchmaker, but her newest client, Tim Bradford, proves to be stubborn and reluctant towards her services. A bet, a dog, an algorithm, a few dates, and some non-dates might help them both find their match. Title includes lyrics from "One and Only" by Adele.

Ashley McGrady knows who she is. What she wants. What she won't be. And she knows that she will never be the woman Tim is in love with. #87 in - cops 🥳 #7 in - lucychen 🥳

She's Sharp. She's stubborn. And she's about to disrupt everything Tim Bradford thought she had under control. Lucy Chen transfers to Mid-Wilshire for a fresh start. Tim Bradford hadn't seen Lucy Chen since her rookie year ended. She's more mature, different. And that intrigues him.

Tim's used to order, Lucy needs creative chaos. A fight over something small spirals into everything unspoken-past heartbreak, fear of losing this, fear of getting it wrong. -Pre break-up.

What if Tim and Ashley had broken up before he went undercover and Lucy wasn't happy with Chris? Chenford slow burn 🔥 This is the first time I've written a story but I'm planning to write more if this one goes well.
