Lucy Chen and Tim Bradford fell in love with eachother at the age of fifteen. They both had complicated lives at home and found peace with eachother. And on Tim's sixteenth birthday their relationship took a step that would change their lives forever. That night was the night they both felt safest in their entire lives and one thing lead to another. About a month later Lucy found out she was pregnant and she tried her best to hide it from her parents for two months but her body started changing so she broke down and told them. She thought they would be supportive and help her through it but instead they started yelling. After a few days of arguing, they agreed to let her keep it so for the next six months Lucy hid her pregnancy from everyone except her parents and Tim. But when she gave birth, her parents kept Tim out of the loop and didn't tell Lucy their plan. They had put Lucy's baby up for adoption and we're taking Lucy and moving to D.C. For years Lucy completely ignored her parents presence and their relationship shattered, especially since they refused to tell her anything about her daughter or let her contact Tim. For years Tim thought Lucy had chosen to keep him from his daughter and that resulted in his permanent horrible mood. Even after ten years he was constantly scowling and earned the nickname grumpy cop when he joined the LAPD. He only ever smiled around his friends, Mom and sister, but even then it was always like he was forcing it. Until Lucy transferred to his station from D.C. Over the next five years they got back together, got married and had a daughter who they named Addy and that grumpy cop nickname disappeared. They were still looking for their first born daughter but refused to let it consume them. Until they arrested a group of kids and find out the truth about the fifteen year old girl. Ellie Rose.

Lucy has just broken up with Chris, she has huge feelings for Tim, and this week she's going to tell him...but how?

Lucy Chen thought she had her life figured out-until everything fell apart. Two weeks after her breakup with Tim Bradford, the man who once felt like home, Lucy is barely speaking to him and trying to find her own path. Living with heartbreak (and her best friend) , she discovers something that changes everything: she's pregnant. Not ready to face the past, she asks for a transfer far from California, keeping her secret close to her heart. When she moves to Hawaii, she starts over-buys a house, makes new friends, and prepares for a future that no one could have predicted. But life has a way of turning the unexpected into something magical. Nine months later, Lucy welcomes three beautiful, spirited children into the world: two girls and a boy, each with their own quirks, challenges, and unshakable charm. For three years, Lucy raises her children with love, laughter, and stories of a man they've never met, showing them a photo of their father so they'll know what he looks like. And while she builds a life in Hawaii, her heart quietly wonders if the past will ever catch up. When Lucy finally returns to California, she's not prepared for the chaos and joy that follow. A casual trip to the station becomes a whirlwind of emotions when her children almost run into someone who doesn't yet know they're his. Tim Bradford. And when he hugs her, it's like no time has passed-but everything has changed. Now, Lucy and Tim navigate laughter, tears, and the unspoken past as she introduces their children to a father they never knew. From playground ice cream to bedtime stories, they learn what it means to be a family-messy, beautiful, and imperfectly perfect. With love, heartbreak, second chances, and three little hearts that tie them together forever, The Prince in the Picture is a heartfelt, emotional story that will make you laugh, cry, and fall in love with the chaos and wonder of family life all over again.
