Tim never really cuddled before Lucy. After she held him as they watched an entire football game, he learned that he likes being in her embrace. Now that he knows how perfect it can be, Tim wants to be in Lucy's arms all the time. Lucky for him, she loves cuddling, too.

After the father of her 4 year old son dies Lucy Chen a cop in the HollyWood division is told by a family friend at the DAs office that a cop at Mildwilshire recently lost his wife and is struggling to navigate this time with his 4 year old daughter. Once Lucy hears this she takes it as an opportunity to get Theo around a kid who could help him through this time and it might also spark something in her life.

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?

After their third first date

They said it started with a game... but games don't leave bruises you trace in the dark. When Lucy Chen agrees to a night out with the squad, she never expects a few shots and a game of Truth or Dare to detonate months of unspoken tension between her and her hard-edged training officer, Tim Bradford. One lap dance. One dare. One line crossed. Now, undercover ops burn hotter than they should, jealousy simmers beneath tactical vests, and neither of them can pretend it's "just the job" anymore. Because the truth? They've stopped playing. And started falling.

Tim Bradford has it all: fame, fortune, and fans who chant his name from the stands. But when the lights fade and the cheers die down, he's left with the one thing he can't seem to win-family. Behind the tough exterior of a superstar athlete is a man desperate for something real. Lucy Chen is one of the biggest names in music, her voice selling out arenas across the world. But while her career is soaring, her love life is a disaster. How can she write the love songs her fans crave when she can't even find someone willing to stand by her side on tour-let alone kiss her like they mean it? Especially if her boyfriend doesn't truly love her. When they cross paths and their worlds collide, Tim and Lucy must learn to navigate the chaos of fame, the meddling of their best friends at Mid-Wilshire police station, and the one thing scarier than the tabloids - falling in love. Because sometimes, the right person doesn't just change the rules of the game. They're the ultimate Game Changer.

Lucy and Tim met each other at a bar ten years ago. They were drunk and he was desperate, leading to her coming home with him and having a one-night stand. Shortly after she found out she was pregnant, but she never got his name, nor did she see him again after that and she ended up raising their little daughter alone. On the first day of her new job, joining the LAPD as a rookie, she couldn't believe who was her field-training-officer... OR: Lucy and Tim made a drunken mistake and Lucy never told anyone about her daughter Hailee.

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.

She's Sharp. She's stubborn. And she's about to disrupt everything Tim Bradford thought she had under control. Lucy Chen transfers to Mid-Wilshire for a fresh start. Tim Bradford hadn't seen Lucy Chen since her rookie year ended. She's more mature, different. And that intrigues him.
