Lucy finds a mysterious, beat-up notebook while cleaning out the precinct locker room. It's titled: "Rookie Survival Guide - Chen Edition (Do Not Touch, Seriously, Stop Reading)" It's Tim Bradford's private collection of sarcastic notes, advice, and personal observations from her rookie year. Like: "Rule #14: If Chen smiles before a prank, duck." "Rule #27: She asks too many questions, but they're usually good. Don't tell her that." "Rule #39: If she ever flirts - don't get your hopes up. She's not serious. (I think.)" Lucy's both mortified and weirdly touched. So, naturally, she writes her own version: "The Bradford Manual - Emotional Walls Edition." Cue a hilarious, flirty back-and-forth war of notebooks, pranks, and secret notes... that slowly turn into something deeper.

Lucy Chen has known the Bradford family since the third grade. She grew up as Genny's best friend - which meant one rule was always clear: Tim Bradford was off limits. But that didn't stop teenage hormones, flirty banter, and stolen glances from turning into something much more complicated. Between school drama, messy friendships, jealous exes, and a whole lot of cleaning toilets as punishment, Lucy and Tim find themselves toeing the line between enemies, friends, and something dangerously close to love. As the dares get bolder and the teasing grows deeper, Lucy and Tim must decide if crossing the line is worth risking everything - or if they were always meant to fall for each other, rules be damned.

"She's just my rookie." and "He's just my Sergeant." Only if it were that simple there'd be no story to tell... Lucy Chen joined the LAPD to prove herself. What she didn't expect was to be paired with someone likeTim Bradford-her no-nonsense training officer whose bark is exactly as sharp as his bite. At first, their partnership is a clash of wills, but underneath the tension simmers something neither of them dares name. When Lucy's personal life implodes and Tim's fractured relationship pushes him past his limits, the two find themselves circling closer-caught between duty, desire, and the unspoken bond that grows with every shift.

Every touch, every glance, every kiss blurs the lines between cover and confession. But with enemies closing in, secrets threatening to surface, and their careers hanging in the balance, one thing becomes clear: the most dangerous risk they'll take may not be the job-it may be each other.

He wasn't supposed to notice her. Not like this. Not in the way that makes his hands twitch and his mind spiral. Tim Bradford doesn't believe in love. He believes in control. Precision. Clean kills and quiet exits. But the night he walks into that bar and sees her-Lucy, all bright eyes and bruised past-something in him fractures. Something he can't put back. She's not his type. Too soft. Too curious. Too perfect to ruin... And too dangerous not to. But obsession has a pulse. And his is beating for her. As Lucy gets closer to the truth-and to him-lines blur between protector and predator, romance and ruin. And in the end, someone's blood will spill. Will it be hers? Or someone who gets in his way? - 18+|| ‼️

In the midst of royal duties and raising four children, Queen Lucy and Lord Bradford rarely have a moment to themselves. One sleepless night, they steal away to the palace kitchen that brought them together in the first place. Under the moonlight, they have a moment to appreciate the timeless spark that still binds them. This story takes place in the same universe as King of My Heart.

Sparks fly when Tim joins the Mid Wilshire Bowling league as a rookie, and his greatest competition is Lucy, a quick-witted firefighter who throws strikes as effortlessly as she delivers sassy comebacks. As their rivalry heats up on the lanes, so does something else that could matter more than the championship trophy they're both determined to claim.

Tim & Lucy go on their first date, but nothing goes to plan. Takes place after 5x9. I sincerely apologize about the amount of angst. I wasn't originally going to write this, but Murph and Jenn inspired me, so I appreciate their help! Thanks to both of you! And to my Deep Sighers, you might actually approve of this.
