When grumpy ex-cop Tim Bradford moves to a quiet little town to start over, he's only looking for peace and maybe a distraction. He definitely wasn't expecting Lucy Chen-the overly cheerful bartender with a sharp tongue, soft heart, and the power to wreck his carefully guarded walls. What begins with banter turns into undeniable chemistry. But love in a small town isn't always simple-especially with baggage, breakups, heartbreak, healing... and unexpected baby news. From flirty bar nights to surprise proposals, steamy moments, and building a life together (literally), this is a story about second chances, found family, and love that refuses to give up.

What if The Rookie group was in high school? Lucy, Tamara, Celina, Jackson, Genny, and Angela are all Juniors (11th) in High School. The rest are all seniors (12th). Lucy has a really good relationship with her parents.

What happens between Lucy and Tim after Lucy becomes sergeant? How do they navigate toward this new path of love angst and desire?

She's my rookie. I can't have feelings for her. That's what I keep telling myself. But every day I ride with Lucy Chen is another day I fall for her. She's my ride or die. She always has my back. And I will never let anything happen to her. I'd die for her. But she can't know how I feel, nobody can. Falling For Lucy is my thesis on how and why Tim Bradford has been falling for Lucy Chen since the very beginning of the show. I, personally, believe the show writers did not do this on purpose, and the story has written itself. This is my detailed account of Tim Bradford's POV throughout The Rookie with some creative liberties taken to fill in the blanks. This is a super slow burn, just like the show. This book will always be 100% canon to the show. And yes, I am watching the show five seconds at a time giving you every detail of every second of Tim Bradford's experience. So if that sounds interesting to you, you will enjoy this book. Also! Check out Lusting For Lucy for more mature bonus chapters, one-shots, and alternate timelines. I have the entirety of Dim & Juicy written over there and it seems to be a fan favorite with an additional steamy alt ending. Enjoy!

Please be patient with me, I am still committed to this story, but like I have a regular life, a demanding puppy, and a full time job too. _______________________ Check out my Spotify playlist that is paired with this book.

This is a fake scenario about 'The Rookie', Jackson, Nolan and Lucy went to the karaoke bar to have some relaxing time after their first week as a rookie. Jackson and Lucy are called to do the first karaoke of the evening but the TO's are also at the bar and secretly listen to their vocals. At rolecall Lucy and Jackson gets confronted and are quite embarrassed but why is it that Lucy never sings?

After a hard day's work, the gang(Lucy, Tim, Angela, Wesley, Nyla, James, Nolan, Bailey, Celina, Aaron, Luna, and Grey) go out to a bar. Tim and Lucy are not dating, but they do have feelings for each other. Will this night out ignite a spark and finally push them together? None of the characters are mine, only the plot. All rights belong to The Rookie and ABC. Hope you enjoy, and sorry for any Grammer mistakes. #9 in lucy; Oct 17, 2025

After Jackson was killed, Lucy and Tim went to a bar together. They both ended up getting really drunk. What will happen next? I do apologise in advance if there is any inaccuracies in this story.

Lucy joined the LAPD in hopes to find a way to escape her abuser. She meets her new TO who is hard on her. She tries to learn the ropes but when she keeps getting abused physically and sexually at home, it makes it hard for her to. She starts to lose her hope and struggles mentally after she was abducted. Her TO starts to see through her lies. Will she escape? How will her relationship with her TO change? What will happen to her abuser? ~This is similar to my story Help Me but Lucy doesn't have a kid in this one so I can make more things happen!~ *Trigger warning: rape, alcoholism, self harm, suicidal thoughts, abuse, and language* Disclaimer: I do not own The Rookie or any of the characters in this franchise!
