Now Charlotte is growing into a young woman, discovering who she is, what she loves, and what kind of future she wants to build. Along the way, she'll experience first loves, friendships, big milestones, disappointments, family adventures, and the bittersweet moments that come with growing up. She'll watch her younger siblings grow beside her, make memories with the people who became her family, and continue building a relationship with Victoria, her birth mother. Through every chapter, Charlotte will learn that family isn't defined by where you came from. It's defined by who stays. And the little girl who was once left alone will never have to wonder again. She has a family. She has a home. And she is loved. This is Charlotte's story. The story of the little girl who was left alone-and the family who stayed.

Two detectives. Two weddings. One fake relationship. Lucy Chen needs a boyfriend for her sister's wedding. Tim Bradford needs a date for his ex's wedding. So they make a deal: pretend to be together for two weekends, then go back to normal. Simple, right? Except somewhere between the fake kisses, jealous looks, and late-night conversations, their relationship starts feeling a little too real. Because what happens when pretending becomes the one thing they don't want to stop? ❤️

After three years in Chicago, Lucy Chen returns to Los Angeles and finds herself back at Mid-Wilshire, surrounded by the people and memories she left behind. But returning means facing Tim Bradford, her ex-husband and the person she never expected to see again. Lucy wants nothing to do with him and is determined to keep her distance, especially with her new life and relationship with Chris. Tim, however, begins to realize that the feelings he thought were long gone might not have disappeared after all. As old memories, unresolved emotions, and unexpected moments bring them closer together, both of them are forced to confront a past neither of them has truly left behind.

That was all it was supposed to be. When Tim Bradford is offered an opportunity he can't easily turn down, he and Lucy Chen convince themselves that four months apart won't change anything. They have each other. They have a future. They have a wedding to plan. They've already survived everything life has thrown at them. But sometimes, the hardest part isn't being apart. It's what happens when the person you trust most has to make a choice,and you don't know what that choice will cost you. Because four months can change a lot. And sometimes, coming home doesn't mean everything is waiting for you exactly the way you left it. How much can love survive when everything they thought they knew begins to fall apart?

Five More Minutes Everyone thinks Tim and Lucy are just partners. But behind closed doors, they're secretly married. Between quiet mornings, stolen kisses, chaotic shifts and late nights together, they try to keep their little secret hidden. Until the station starts noticing. Because some secrets are worth keeping... until they aren't. ❤️

The Forever Family After everything little Lottie has been through, she finally knows what it feels like to be safe, loved, and wanted. With Tim and Lucy by her side, she begins discovering that family isn't always about where you come from-it's about the people who choose you and never let you go. As Lottie grows, she'll face new adventures, milestones, holidays, heartbreaks, and the ordinary moments that make a childhood special. From losing her first tooth to starting school, making friends, and finding her place in the world, Tim and Lucy will be there for every step. But one thing never changes: she is home. This is the story of a little girl finding her forever family-and the family who found their forever daughter.

Lucy Chen is a 24-year-old college student currently taking a break from school. She's been studying psychology, but lately she's been questioning whether it's really the path she wants to follow. She loves helping people, but she isn't sure she can picture herself spending the rest of her life in psychology. With school on pause, Lucy takes a job as a nanny for Tim Bradford, a 34-year-old single dad with a four-year-old daughter, Lottie. She expects the job to simply give her something to do while she figures out her next step. Instead, caring for Lottie begins to show Lucy a side of herself she didn't know was there. For the first time in a long time, Lucy starts wondering if maybe she doesn't need to have her entire future figured out yet-and maybe the unexpected path is exactly where she's supposed to be.

The Girl Who Was Left Alone She was only five years old when they found her. Alone. Scared. Clutching a stuffed rabbit named Hopper and carrying the weight of a childhood no little girl should ever have to carry. Charlotte Grace Alvarez-Lottie-had learned early that people leave. That raised voices meant danger. That promises didn't always last. And that sometimes, the people who were supposed to love you most were the ones who walked away. Then Tim Bradford and Lucy Chen walked into her life. They never expected to become parents. They certainly never expected to find a little girl who would quietly steal her way into their hearts. But as temporary placement turns into permanent custody, Tim and Lucy begin to realize that Lottie isn't just a child they're protecting. She's their daughter. Through first days of school, scraped knees, holidays, birthdays, nightmares, spelling bees, family dinners, and all the little moments in between, Lottie slowly learns what it means to belong. She learns that not every goodbye is forever. That home isn't just a place. And most importantly-that being left alone doesn't mean she has to be alone anymore. Because sometimes, the family you find is the family you were always meant to have. This is the story of the girl who was left alone-and the two people who chose her, every single day.
