Tim and Lucy share a past, but that past isn't exactly the prettiest. And Lucy carried away from it the most beautiful gift, but also a lot of demons. Lucy is freshly 25 years old and has become the youngest sergeant in America. She has been transferred to LA as help. She herself helps victims of bullying and people who hurt themselves. And that tells us about the past of Tim and Lucy. Lucy didn't have it easy in high school. Even though she was beautiful, she was a victim of bullying because she was a nerd who didn't go out much, but rather studied and read. All of that changed when Tim started showing interest in her. I wish she had told him to go away. Nolan and Bailey are married, as are the Wopez, Harper and James as well.

- Código 45? - Sempre quando for você. Entre perseguições, investigações e cafés no meio do plantão, Tim Bradford e Lucy Chen seguem como a dupla mais afiada - e mais negacionista - da delegacia de Mid-Wilshire. Casos vão e vêm, criminosos caem, mas o que eles sentem um pelo outro... continua fora do relatório oficial. Em cada olhar, toque discreto e missão compartilhada, Código 45 se mantém vivo: o código só deles, criado em campo, usado sem palavras - e entendido por todos... menos por eles.

Detective Lucy Chen struggles with the scars of her past while starting a new chapter at the LAPD. When Tim Bradford slowly breaks through her walls, a slowburn romance unfolds amidst high-stakes cases, quiet moments of comfort, and unexpected vulnerability. A story of trauma, trust, and discovering the person who can truly heal your heart.

They were supposed to be partners. They were never supposed to fall. They meet as sergeants from opposite ends of the LAPD-two leaders, two reputations, and zero patience for each other. When an undercover operation requires them to pose as a couple, neither is thrilled. Tim Bradford thinks Lucy Chen is too soft; Lucy thinks Tim is all walls and no heart.

Lucy wasn't expecting a text like that from Tim. Neither was he. Tim makes a mistake. Lucy takes advantage of it. Business as usual. An accidental text. A bold reply. And maybe, just maybe, a date. Tim sends the wrong text. Lucy sends the right response.

.

between what was and what might've been, they're left with everything unsaid, and nowhere to hide from it.

Nuclear Bombs. A fallout Bunker. Two partners stuck together. For years. - What happens when things become domesticated? When they are all each other have? When they realize they may never be getting out? - 18+||‼️

After a messy divorce from his ex-wife Isabel-brought on by her spiraling drug addiction-Tim Bradford finds himself raising two young children on his own. A newborn who won't stop crying and a toddler who won't speak or smile. Exhausted, overwhelmed, and at the edge of breaking, Tim doesn't know what else to do. That is until Detectives Angela Lopez and Nyla Harper recommends someone-Dr. Lucy Chen, a warm-hearted child psychologist with a gentle way of unlocking even the most closed-off hearts. As Lucy starts working with Tim's daughter and soothing the cries of the newborn with ease, Tim finds himself watching her more and more. And maybe-just maybe-he starts to believe that healing is possible. For him. For his kids. For all of them

Five years ago, Lucy Chen slept with a stranger at a bar. On Monday morning, he introduced himself as Officer Tim Bradford, her new TO. What followed was a history of bad timing and worse choices: stolen nights, broken vows, Isabel's return, Lucy's silence - and a secret that drove them apart. By the time Lucy transferred out of Mid-Wilshire, she swore she'd never look back. Now, she's a sergeant at Hollywood. A single mom. And she hasn't seen Tim in half a decade. Until a joint LAPD project forces them into the same room again. Until the memories they buried refuse to stay buried. Until the people they are now have to face everything the people they were left behind. Enemies. Lovers. Strangers. Partners. Some mistakes don't fade. Some of them grow - into scars, into secrets, into children with eyes too familiar to ignore. | the 1st (out of 3) book of this fanfiction has been publish! you can find it under the same title "Where Dahlias Bloom" on Kindle Store for the ebook version, or at the Amazon store/website for the printed version! |
