Tim was a cop. Lucy was a criminal. Their love was forbidden, but it happened anyways. ⚠️ sexual scenes, slight emetephobia, eating disorder mentions ⚠️

Sergeant Tim Bradford has one job: find the ghost who left seven bodies across Los Angeles and has never once been caught. The problem? He already knows her. Two months ago she walked into a bar and into his life - sharp, dangerous, and impossible to forget. Six nights. No last name. Gone before dawn. Her name is Lucy Chen. She is everything his badge stands against. And she is the one thing he can't bring himself to give up. The case is closing in. The choice is coming. When the man who never breaks the rules falls for the woman who never follows them - who breaks first?

One year ago, Tim Bradford broke Lucy Chen's heart and walked away without explanation. Now Sergeant Lucy Chen is stronger, promoted, and determined to never let him close again. Until she's assigned to a four-month undercover operation. Living in a van. Posing as a couple. Driving from Los Angeles down the coast to Baja, Mexico. With her ex. Every touch is "for the cover." Every kiss is supposed to be fake. But the longer they're trapped together, the harder it is to ignore the tension, the memories... and the questions Lucy never got answers to. Because Tim didn't just leave. He hid something. And somewhere between fake love and real danger, Lucy is about to find out the truth - The real reason he walked away.

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

Lucy Chen and her friends, John Nolan, and Jackson West, had just joined the LAPD as rookies. Fresh out of the academy. The station, although a few pranks, welcomed the three of them with open arms. But Angela Lopez. She seemed to have something against Lucy Chen. Although a detective, Lucy Chen and herself found themselves paired together. Angela Lopez hated Lucy Chen with her whole heart. Until something changed. And that something changed everything. All characters are not mine, except for the ones not in The Rookie.

Tim Bradford doesn't believe in distractions - which is exactly why Sergeant Lucy Chen is becoming one. She transfers in polished, composed, and entirely unimpressed by his reputation, meeting every dry remark with a steadier one of her own. He doesn't go easy on people, but he doesn't go hard on her either, and that line between professional and personal starts to blur in the quiet moments - shared patrol cars, lingering eye contact, the kind of teasing that sounds harmless until it isn't. She carries herself like someone who has more waiting for her than just the job, and Tim tells himself he doesn't need to know what that is. He just needs to remember she's his partner - and nothing else.

"The Bradford family seems ordinary at first, but their strength and love set them apart. Tim and Lucy Bradford share a deep bond, raising their daughters, Scarlett and Sophie, with care, patience, and devotion. Life for them is filled with everyday joys laughter at breakfast, bedtime stories, and quiet moments of connection. But even in normalcy, challenges arise that test their patience, resilience, and trust in each other. The Bradfords face life together, leaning on love and unwavering support to navigate obstacles. Their story explores how family can be a source of courage, comfort, and hope. Through moments of laughter, quiet reassurance, and small victories, they learn that together they are stronger. Every challenge brings lessons, and every day offers the chance to grow closer. This is a story of family, endurance, and the power of love. The Bradfords remind us that strength comes not from never falling, but from holding on to one another."
