"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.

Lucy Chen thought she had it all figured out. The road to detective, a new rank, a clean slate. What she didn't plan for was being thrown back into the same rotation as Timothy Bradford. Tim. Her ex. Her once-training officer. And, unfortunately, her biggest distraction. Freshly broken up and still feeling the sting, Lucy was determined to keep things professional.. until the day Sergeant Grey promoted her to temporary training officer. Now she's on equal ground with Tim... and their rookies just happen to be best friends. The chances of two training officers secretly hooking up? Low. But never zero. Because in the LAPD, secrets don't stay buried for long-not when rookies are watching, blackmail is brewing, and one wrong move could destroy everything they've worked for. "Cops gossip more than middle schoolers," Tim muttered. Lucy smirked. "Then we'd better give them something to talk about." When the line between duty and desire starts to blur again, Lucy has to choose, follow the rules... or break them all for the man she swore she was done with.

If I'm the one training you then you're in for a hell of an adventure.' I gave Tim obvious dirty looks. 'Well I know you won't be.' I said. 'Now would you excuse me because I'm 'so late'.' Tim and Lucy's partnership began as a rookie and T.O. dynamic, a familiar phrase in the world of law enforcement. But as their relationship progressed the chaotic streets of LA, a different kind of relationship unfolded.
