"Joining the LAPD was my dream - what I didn't expect was Tim Bradford." Freshly graduated from the police academy, I'm ready to prove myself as a rookie officer in Los Angeles. Determined, passionate, and maybe a little naïve, I step into the chaos of the city - only to be assigned to the one T.O. who seems colder than a steel wall: Officer Tim Bradford. Tough, distant, and emotionally guarded, Tim doesn't make it easy. But over time, through long shifts, high-stress calls, and quiet moments in the patrol car, I start to see glimpses of the man behind the badge. And suddenly, things get complicated. What begins as a professional relationship slowly evolves into something deeper - something neither of us saw coming. Hidden feelings, secret weekends, moments of jealousy, heated arguments, and stolen kisses... In a world full of rules, one thing is clear: love wasn't part of the plan. A slow-burn, emotional and romantic fanfiction set in the world of the LAPD. Tim Bradford x Reader (OC) - told from the first-person point of view. Full of tension, tenderness, and forbidden connection.
