In an alternate universe, Lucy and Tim are actors who have been cast opposite each other to film a movie together. To drum up buzz for the film in the hopes of making it a series, the studio asks them to fake date while the movie is filming. They agree to spend one year "dating", but it might not always feel like pretend.

Tim and Lucy share a past, but that past isn't exactly the prettiest. And Lucy carried away from it the most beautiful gift, but also a lot of demons. Lucy is freshly 25 years old and has become the youngest sergeant in America. She has been transferred to LA as help. She herself helps victims of bullying and people who hurt themselves. And that tells us about the past of Tim and Lucy. Lucy didn't have it easy in high school. Even though she was beautiful, she was a victim of bullying because she was a nerd who didn't go out much, but rather studied and read. All of that changed when Tim started showing interest in her. I wish she had told him to go away. Nolan and Bailey are married, as are the Wopez, Harper and James as well.

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.

Welcome to Dusty Hollow 🌾🐴❤️ This story follows Lucy Chen and Tim Bradford-two people from different worlds whose paths collide on a sprawling Texas farm where rules are strict, hearts are guarded, and love is both forbidden and inevitable. Lucy Chen, along with Angela Lopez, Celina Juraz, and Tamara Collins, were adopted together by Wade and Luna Grey after tragedy struck their families. Alongside their biological sister Dominique, they've grown up with one unshakable rule: Grey's daughters are off limits. Life at Dusty Hollow is structured-lights out by ten, breakfast and dinner with the family, no parties, respect for visitors-but chaos is never far when strong personalities collide with the wide-open Texas landscape. Tim Bradford, newly hired at the farm, is everything Lucy's told to stay away from: tall, handsome, and entirely unaware of the storm he's about to walk into. Rules were meant to be broken, hearts meant to be challenged, and in the heat of long Texas days, Lucy and Tim find themselves drawn together-against all odds and every warning she's ever been given. Between sassy horseback rides, secret moments, flares of jealousy, and quiet acts of devotion, Lucy and Tim's story is a slow burn of laughter, tension, and the kind of love that refuses to follow the rules. Will Lucy's careful heart survive the reckless pull of Tim Bradford, or will Dusty Hollow change them both forever? ✨ Comments, votes, and support are deeply appreciated. Dive into the world of Dusty Hollow and experience love, rules, chaos, and the slow-burn romance of Lucy and Tim. 🌾🐴❤️ Name inspired by Taylor Swift's song: "mine"
