She makes coffee. He makes arrests. She's twenty-five. He's forty-five. Tim Bradford didn't expect a tiny corner coffee shop to become the only place he could breathe after a long shift. He also didn't expect the smiley blonde barista behind the counter to notice more than his coffee order. She's sunshine and latte art. He's grumpy, disciplined, and allergic to small talk. But when her warmth starts slipping past his walls, Tim finds himself wondering if maybe he's not too old for second chances-or for falling in love with someone half his age. It's caffeine meets badge, sugar meets steel... and an age-gap romance that might just prove the perfect blend

This fanfic dives straight in (we had enough slow burn in the show right?) I have watched up to season three so far, this will not be based on The rookie story line but will include the same characters. Description ~ When a call takes a turn for the worst and Tim and Willow are ambushed, how will Tim rescue her when he's tied up in the next room? TW - Kidnapping, Sexual assault, violence, mention of drugs/ alcohol, panic attacks, will add to the list as i write. Enjoy!!

A new character moves to Los Angeles👀 [T. Bradford x oc]

When Officer Tim Bradford meets his new rookie, Sophia Hale, he isn't prepared for the spark that hits him like a gut punch. She's everything he's not-soft-spoken, idealistic, a little shy-and yet she awakens a protective and possessive instinct he can't ignore. As her training officer, he's supposed to stay professional. But every shift, every glance, and every close call chips away at that wall. When he learns just how innocent she really is, he promises he'll go slow-waiting until she's ready. But lines blur fast when hearts and bodies collide.

Every rookie takes in a puppy even Bradford the tough guy

Hazel Nolan always knew the job would be tough-but nothing could've prepared her for balancing patrol shifts with midnight feedings. As she steps into motherhood, she's determined to keep her badge, her edge, and her sense of self-even when the world around her keeps shifting. Tim Bradford thought he had it all under control-until fatherhood flipped his world upside down. Now, he's learning to navigate strollers and suspects, diapers and danger, all while trying to support the woman he loves. As Hazel and Tim face the pressure of their careers and the joys and trials of new parenthood, they'll discover that building a family takes more than courage-it takes choosing each other, day after day. The third installment in the Boot series, Mama Boot is a powerful, heartfelt story about duty, love, and the unexpected roads that lead you home. "You still think I can do this?" "Hazel, I've never believed in anything more."

Book 2 of my "The Rookie" series... After the chaos of her first year on the force and the emotional fallout of an intense undercover drug trafficking case, Officer Rose Whitley returns to patrol, trying to find her footing again-this time with a deepening, complicated bond with her former training officer, Tim Bradford. But peace is short-lived. When the case that nearly killed her is unexpectedly reopened, Rose is reluctantly pulled back in. Promoted temporarily to detective, she finds herself working alongside Detective Wolfe, with Lucy Chen by her side and old ghosts resurfacing-both professionally and personally. All while trying to keep her budding relationship with Tim from imploding. As secrets mount, tension runs high between Rose and Tim. He struggles with the fear of losing her again, while she fights to prove she's more than the trauma she survived. Undercover missions, surveillance vans, steamy close calls, and emotionally-charged late-night dinners test their limits-and their feelings.

Five years gone. Now she's back, and working with the one man she never forgot. Tim Bradford x OC Not following the series but using some key events

Completed Sergeant Tim Bradford has seen every kind of tragedy LA can offer. But nothing prepared him for the scene at the waterfront mansion-or for you. Huddled and trembling, drenched in the evidence of your husband's murder, you're a portrait of shattered elegance. You were a possession, now a pawn in a war you never wanted. Tim's job is to hand you over to protective custody and forget. But the fear in your eyes and the strength you hide ignites a protective instinct he can't ignore. From tear-stained confessions to stolen moments of peace, an impossible love blooms in the shadow of danger, forcing Tim to choose between the badge he swore to uphold and the woman he swore to protect.
