They've been undercover before. Pretend couples, fake kisses, staged intimacy - all part of the job. But when a mission throws Tim and Lucy into a motel room with nothing but rain, silence, and all the unspoken feelings between them, the line between pretend and real starts to vanish. From the docks to the airplane, through stolen glances, accidental touches, and a second kiss that feels far too real, their partnership will change forever. Because some things aren't just part of the job. Some things were never pretend at all. A slow-burn, tension-laced dive into undercover work, unspoken confessions, and one night that changes everything.

A love poem.

Lucy Chen's life was shattered in an instant when she was kidnapped and buried alive, trapped in darkness both physical and emotional. Rescued by Tim Bradford, a steadfast and protective officer, her path to recovery is steeped in pain, flashbacks, and the daunting struggle to trust again. As she battles the shadows of her past - and the complicated presence of Tim's lingering relationship with Rachel - Lucy finds herself retreating, terrified of letting anyone close. Tim refuses to give up on her, standing by her side every agonizing step of the way, his own heart breaking with hers. But love remains unspoken, fragile, and tentative as they try to navigate trauma, jealousy, and their own fears. Amid moments of tenderness and tension, they slowly forge a connection that neither expected but both desperately need. Set against the gritty backdrop of police work and the intimate battleground of healing, this story explores the raw reality of trauma and the redemptive power of love. Will Lucy and Tim find the strength to finally admit what's been growing between them - before the past tears them apart for good?

When undercover officers Lucy Chen and Tim Bradford are sent to pose as a married couple at a remote retreat, the mission is simple - watch the suspect, play the part, don't get personal. But one unexpected night changes everything. When duty turns to desire and distance becomes silence, they're forced apart... until fate and danger brings them back together, not as partners - but as parents. A story of love found in the mess, of second chances, and the quiet moments that say everything.

Lucy Chen passou a vida tentando esquecer uma noite que mudou tudo - e as consequências que vieram com ela. Anos depois, como policial em treinamento, ela é forçada a encarar o passado de formas que jamais imaginou. Seu instrutor, Tim Bradford, parece ser a última pessoa com quem ela conseguiria se conectar... até que uma adolescente carente e cheia de atitude cruza o caminho dos dois e vira tudo de cabeça para baixo.

"She's just my rookie." and "He's just my Sergeant." Only if it were that simple there'd be no story to tell... Lucy Chen joined the LAPD to prove herself. What she didn't expect was to be paired with someone likeTim Bradford-her no-nonsense training officer whose bark is exactly as sharp as his bite. At first, their partnership is a clash of wills, but underneath the tension simmers something neither of them dares name. When Lucy's personal life implodes and Tim's fractured relationship pushes him past his limits, the two find themselves circling closer-caught between duty, desire, and the unspoken bond that grows with every shift. From patrol calls in Los Angeles to an undercover operation in Las Vegas, where they must pose as lovers in order to bring down a dangerous drug syndicate, Tim and Lucy's act becomes harder to separate from reality. Every touch, every glance, every kiss blurs the lines between cover and confession. But with enemies closing in, secrets threatening to surface, and their careers hanging in the balance, one thing becomes clear: the most dangerous risk they'll take may not be the job-it may be each other.

(This is my 1st ever wattpad story x ) - A Chenford Fanfic Lucy Chen and Timothy Bradford have just broken up . They're still heartbroken . Lucy is caught in trouble and no other than Tim rushes to her rescue .. What will happen next?

Lucy and Tim met each other at a bar six years ago. They were drunk and it, leading to her coming home with him and having a one-night stand. But shortly after she found out she was pregnant, but she didn't know his name, she has never seen she 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...

When grumpy ex-cop Tim Bradford moves to a quiet little town to start over, he's only looking for peace and maybe a distraction. He definitely wasn't expecting Lucy Chen-the overly cheerful bartender with a sharp tongue, soft heart, and the power to wreck his carefully guarded walls. What begins with banter turns into undeniable chemistry. But love in a small town isn't always simple-especially with baggage, breakups, heartbreak, healing... and unexpected baby news. From flirty bar nights to surprise proposals, steamy moments, and building a life together (literally), this is a story about second chances, found family, and love that refuses to give up.

What if Lucy had a secret admirer turned stalker who wanted her all to themself and was willing to anything to make that happen?
