At 16, Lucy's used to bracing for impact. Between a drunk dad, a stepmom who hates her, and a brother who can do no wrong, home has never felt safe. But when her family drags her across the country to L.A., the only person who makes the hurt quiet is her best friend - the one she's slowly, terrifyingly, starting to love. Raw, emotional, and slow-burn, it's about learning to lean on someone else when you've spent your whole life holding yourself up.

Lucy Chen and Tim Bradford are secretly married and share a five-year-old daughter, Maila-something no one at the precinct knows. Between police work, everyday life, and keeping their family hidden, their carefully guarded secret is suddenly threatened by an unexpected incident, forcing them to face the truth and the challenges that come with it.

After a lifetime of psychological manipulation at the hands of her therapist parents, Lucy Chen seeks solace and purpose in the police academy. Finally free, she falls for Dean, unaware he's about to become her worst nightmare. Trapped in an abusive relationship, with her own parents complicit in her torment, Lucy arrives on the force as a rookie, broken and obedient. Her only goal is to survive. But when she's partnered with the perceptive Tim, her carefully constructed walls begin to crumble. Will Tim be the lifeline Lucy desperately needs, or will the darkness of her past consume her completely? I do not own any of these characters except for dean and any other ocs I add in, Lucy's backstory is also very different in this. Warnings: abuse, sexual assault, manipulation, scars, suicidal thoughts, eating disorders, possessiveness, depression, anxiety. Warnings will be displayed on each chapter.
