Amelie Calloway is a shy good girl who is forced to move to a new town after her mother got offered a new job. When her mother suggested for her to bring home made cookies to the neighbours she never expected to see him... Thorn Lancaster is the brooding bad boy of Doberman college, he is known to skip classes and smoke in his free time up until this one girl who is the total opposite of him catches his eye. Although, the cookies were just the start.

Tim wants something real with Lucy after ending things with his ex, Ashley. Lucy's busy trying to make Tim jealous with her new personality, the girl Tim has to work for to call his.

Tim Bradford's life runs on structure. Former soldier, career cop, newly promoted Watch Commander-his days are measured in responsibility and routine. Lucy Chen is building a life of her own. As a social worker, she helps people navigate systems that weren't made to be kind, finding patience, humour, and quiet strength along the way. A blind date arranged by their mutual friend Angela Lopez brings them together. Neither expects more than one drink. They both decide one drink isn't enough. Over the course of a year, they let something unfamiliar take shape-dates that turn into habits, conversations that linger, and a relationship built deliberately, without rush. This is the story of two people from different worlds making room for something new-together. --- Feedback is appreciated.

They say the best chemistry can't be faked. Eric Winter and Melissa O'Neil have spent years proving it, Tim and Lucy's slow-burn romance spilling over into interviews, behind-the-scenes laughs, and that effortless way they lean into each other on red carpets. Fans eat it up and the internet calls it "Chenford magic." But magic has a shadow. What happens when the kisses stop being just for the script? When one of them pulls away to protect the other? When a convention in a cold German city forces them face-to-face with everything they've been avoiding? A hallway that's too quiet. A panel where tears fall and a hand reaches out. A word that changes the air between them forever.

"She's just my rookie." and "He's just my Sergeant." Only if it were that simple there'd be no story to tell... Lucy Chen joined the LAPD to prove herself. What she didn't expect was to be paired with someone likeTim Bradford-her no-nonsense training officer whose bark is exactly as sharp as his bite. At first, their partnership is a clash of wills, but underneath the tension simmers something neither of them dares name. When Lucy's personal life implodes and Tim's fractured relationship pushes him past his limits, the two find themselves circling closer-caught between duty, desire, and the unspoken bond that grows with every shift. From patrol calls in Los Angeles to an undercover operation in Las Vegas, where they must pose as lovers in order to bring down a dangerous drug syndicate, Tim and Lucy's act becomes harder to separate from reality. Every touch, every glance, every kiss blurs the lines between cover and confession. But with enemies closing in, secrets threatening to surface, and their careers hanging in the balance, one thing becomes clear: the most dangerous risk they'll take may not be the job-it may be each other.

When Lucy Chen, a sharp and ambitious defense attorney, and Tim Bradford, a no-nonsense LAPD patrol sergeant, discover they've been signed up for LA's hottest new dating show without their consent, they're less than thrilled-especially when they realize they already know each other from their professional run-ins in court and on cases. Forced into close quarters with cameras rolling 24/7, the by-the-book cop and the passionate lawyer who've spent years professionally sparring must navigate ridiculous dating challenges, eliminate other contestants, and somehow convince producers (and themselves) that they're actually compatible. Between their clashing worldviews, undeniable chemistry, and the mounting pressure to either couple up or get voted off, the line between what's real and what's for the cameras begins to blur. But when the competition heats up and real feelings start creeping in, both Tim and Lucy have to decide: are they willing to cross the borderline between professional adversaries and something more-or will they walk away before anyone gets hurt?

This is based of the series 'The Rookie' (if you haven't watched it, what are you waiting for!?) you should picture it being s4 whit a hint of s5, like in between those seasons. !Also a bit of a 'smut' warning! (I will wright in the chapter right before if there is going to be 'smut' in it or not and tell you what chapter to jump to, to not read the 'smut' part).
