Lucy Chen, a gorgeous, young, kind ER nurse, with an overbearing, yet loving family, has been single for years, never thinking she needed someone or wanted someone. She's had a few short-term relationships since high school, but she never felt that spark with any of them. Her family has been trying to set her up since she was 20, but every single date never had a sequel. As the youngest of 5 kids, she had always been behind her older siblings; Aria, Tyler, Rose and Reese, but all her siblings were at least engaged by 28, but Lucy is 27 and never even had a serious relationship. Her parents, Vanessa and Patrick Chen, have always told her that when she finds "the one," she would know. Then Lucy meets Tim Bradford at a mutual friends birthday party and they just...click. •♥︎-♡-♡-♡-♡-♡-♡-♡-♡-♡-♡-♡-♡-♡-♡-♡-♡-♡-♥︎• Tim Bradford is a sergeant and the watch commander at Mid-Wilshire Police Station. He recently got divorced from his wife, Isabel after she got addicted to drugs, and his best friend, Angela Lopez, has been trying to set him up again. During Tim's marriage, he hated everything about it, not because she was controlling, not because she cheated, not because he and Isabel argued constantly, all though the latter two were true, its because he never truly loved her. The only good thing Tim got from his marriage was his son, Oliver, who he got full custody of when the divorce was final. Tim has avoided dating since the divorce, not wanting to make Ollie think he was replacing his mother. Even if Isabel was a horrible person, she was still the mother of his child. But when Tim meets Lucy Chen at his friend Bailey's birthday party and actually feels... something, he decided to ask her out on a date. Despite feeling something, Tim doesn't expect their relationship to go anywhere, so he doesn't tell Lucy about Ollie. But over time, Tim realises he's falling for her...hard. And now he's in love with a girl who doesn

Before she ever wore a badge, Lucy was just a little girl with nowhere to go - until Officer Wade Grey stepped into her life. What started as a simple call became something that changed them both forever.

The envelope sat on his kitchen counter like it owned the place. Cream cardstock, gold lettering, the kind of thing you only splurge on when you want everyone to know you're blissfully in love. Eric already knew whose names would be on it. Roselyn and John. He'd told himself the divorce was civil. Mature. A clean break. He'd ignored the whispers that his friend had been more than a friend before the papers were signed. He'd even wished them well from a safe, social media-approved distance. But this? An invitation to watch them exchange vows under fairy lights and peonies, to toast their happily-ever-after while pretending he wasn't the ghost in the room? That was a special kind of audacity. He should throw it away. Burn it. Shred it into a thousand smug little pieces. Instead, he poured himself a drink and stared at the RSVP card. Should he go? Just to prove he could. Just to smile and clap and show them he wasn't the least bit bothered. But go alone? Not a chance. If they wanted him there, he'd make sure they got a show they'd never forget.

An undercover operation forces Lucy and Tim to play a convincing couple, even though they can barely stand each other. The fighting is real. The tension is worse. And the longer the mission lasts, the harder it becomes to tell what's fake and what isn't.

"Isn't your back hurting?" he asked. "I, uh..." Lucy looked like she didn't know what to say, confused, because really, she had just sucked his fingers, they were that close, and that's what he'd managed to ask her-if her back was hurting? Was he an idiot or a moron? Something in between, certainly. His smirk only grew as her fingers froze on his shirt, and right when she was about to remove them entirely, his hands reached up her legs to grab the high of her thighs-a fistful with fingers so large that he held half of her ass. Lucy was caught off guard, once again, and her shoulders trembled while he used the hold to bring her even closer, her knees going up to fit her hip against his, one of his hands surrounding her to hold her waist. Their faces were so close she was salivating, and she was sure he was too, so why the hell did they just stare at each other, impossibly close, their cores inches away, their eyes falling to each other's mouths before returning to their eyes-why wouldn't Tim Bradford just fucking kiss her? - In which Lucy and Tim are left behind at a bar after a night out with friends, and Lucy is just horny enough to push their flirting into a whole new level. Tim enables her.

Lucy is new at this school but when Talia come to bully here Lucy just ignores her and when Talia friends angelea and Tim want to join lucy and her friends when tim starts to have a crush on lucy what will tim do and when talia's commnets become too much what will she do

In which Lucy becomes the assistant to CEO Tim Bradford. Little does she know, he's an actual vampire. Chenford Vampire AU. - Lucy takes a step back, then pauses. "Do you ever leave before dark?" His eyes lift to hers, sharp and unreadable. "Usually not." "Why not?" He shrugs. "Fewer interruptions." "Right." She gives a small laugh. "You know, I'm starting to think my joke during the interview wasn't such a joke. Maybe you are a vampire." Tim doesn't laugh. For a second, she thinks he didn't hear. But he had; his eyes flicker, quick, like a warning light. "I mean," she adds hastily, "you never eat, you never go outside, you don't like sunlight-it's kinda a pattern." He holds her gaze for a moment longer, then says simply, "Good night, Lucy." She feels heat climb up her neck. "Good night."
