Lucy Chen is working part-time at a coffee shop while I college. Tim Bradford is a P2 in the LAPD. Tim goes to his usual coffee shop to order his regular - a black coffee, but he doesn't see that familiar face he usually sees

He wasn't supposed to notice her. Not like this. Not in the way that makes his hands twitch and his mind spiral. Tim Bradford doesn't believe in love. He believes in control. Precision. Clean kills and quiet exits. But the night he walks into that bar and sees her-Lucy, all bright eyes and bruised past-something in him fractures. Something he can't put back. She's not his type. Too soft. Too curious. Too perfect to ruin... And too dangerous not to. But obsession has a pulse. And his is beating for her. As Lucy gets closer to the truth-and to him-lines blur between protector and predator, romance and ruin. And in the end, someone's blood will spill. Will it be hers? Or someone who gets in his way? - 18+|| ‼️

Two years... what now? Retired Marine, current LAPD officer Ryan Blake and Tim Bradford can only be described with three words; horny, messy, and annoying.

Lucy almost got a heart attack when, while waiting for Tim in the men's locker room, found a leather-bound notebook with the word "Bradford" written on the cover. She couldn't believe it, her hard-ass T.O. Tim Bradford had been keeping a diary. And her curiosity was killing her. Little did she know, what she would find written inside... I don't own these The Rookie characters, but I do own the plot.

Ariel Andersen was a known genius. Tim Bradford was a know hardass.

And isn't it just so pretty to think all along there was some invisible string tying you to me? Where Gen and Tim find their invisible string.

Elena Parker thought joining the LAPD at 29 was the biggest risk she'd ever take-until she met her training officer, Tim Bradford. Hardened by loss and shaped by duty, Tim never meant to fall for his rookie. But when a mission goes sideways and Elena is taken, buried secrets, unresolved feelings, and a race against time ignite something raw and unstoppable. As emotions boil beneath the surface and danger closes in, Tim must confront the truth he's always avoided: she's not just his partner. She's everything. A story of tension, redemption, and love found in the unlikeliest places-right in the heart of chaos.

Elena Torres is a 35-year-old cop who trained in L.A but moved to NYC just months her graduation from P1. Ten years later she returns to the LAPD as a detective and meets with familiar faces and new faces too, along with a new face of her own.
