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+|| ‼️

Hey guys! For all my Chenford and Rookie fans, this book is based on the show, obviously known as "The Rookie" and will solely focus on the love between Tim Bradford and Lucy Chen (#Chenford), from the perspective of obviously, Lucy Chen. It will include guest stars and readers will have the opportunity to read from not only Lucy's but other characters' perspectives too! I hope you guys enjoy reading this book! ALSO, IT IS NOT A SLOW BURN. THAT'S BASICALLY TORTURE ☝️

My take on a blossoming relationship between Chenford. And, Tamara's in there, too :) *The original characters don't belong to me. The ones that I create are of my ownership.* **NOT ALL EVENTS IN THIS STORY WILL BE THE SAME AS WHAT MIGHT HAVE ALREADY HAPPENED ON THE SHOW.** ***Any copying of my work will be reported unless written permission is given, by me, to whomever is looking for it.***

Lucy is Tim's new rookie, what happens when she turns out to be feistier than he expects. She has fight in her, a fire in her soul. What Tim doesn't know is that his rookie is hiding a secret that could completely derail her career.

She's my rookie. I can't have feelings for her. That's what I keep telling myself. But every day I ride with Lucy Chen is another day I fall for her. She's my ride or die. She always has my back. And I will never let anything happen to her. I'd die for her. But she can't know how I feel, nobody can. Falling For Lucy is my thesis on how and why Tim Bradford has been falling for Lucy Chen since the very beginning of the show. I, personally, believe the show writers did not do this on purpose, and the story has written itself. This is my detailed account of Tim Bradford's POV throughout The Rookie with some creative liberties taken to fill in the blanks. This is a super slow burn, just like the show. This book will always be 100% canon to the show. And yes, I am watching the show five seconds at a time giving you every detail of every second of Tim Bradford's experience. This is The Rookie: Tim's POV. So if that sounds interesting to you, you will enjoy this book. Also! Check out Lusting For Lucy for more mature bonus chapters, one-shots, and alternate timelines. I have the entirety of Dim & Juicy written over there, and it seems to be a fan favorite with an additional steamy alt ending. Enjoy!

"Joining the LAPD was my dream - what I didn't expect was Tim Bradford." Freshly graduated from the police academy, I'm ready to prove myself as a rookie officer in Los Angeles. Determined, passionate, and maybe a little naïve, I step into the chaos of the city - only to be assigned to the one T.O. who seems colder than a steel wall: Officer Tim Bradford. Tough, distant, and emotionally guarded, Tim doesn't make it easy. But over time, through long shifts, high-stress calls, and quiet moments in the patrol car, I start to see glimpses of the man behind the badge. And suddenly, things get complicated. What begins as a professional relationship slowly evolves into something deeper - something neither of us saw coming. Hidden feelings, secret weekends, moments of jealousy, heated arguments, and stolen kisses... In a world full of rules, one thing is clear: love wasn't part of the plan. A slow-burn, emotional and romantic fanfiction set in the world of the LAPD. Tim Bradford x Reader (OC) - told from the first-person point of view. Full of tension, tenderness, and forbidden connection.

After a messy year, all Sarah wants is to stay focused. She's 18, in her final year of high school, and determined to stay out of trouble. But things get complicated when she meets her new English teacher, Ms. Miller. Addison Miller is the last person Sarah should be drawn to. She's twice her age, her teacher, recently divorced, and completely off-limits. Strict, unreadable... and somehow, strangely familiar. Sarah knows she shouldn't get involved. But knowing is one thing, wanting is another entirely. Slow burn | Teacher x Student | Age gap

everyone's going on about a rain kiss, let's good it's something like this.

Tim wants something real with Lucy after ending things with his ex, Ashley. Lucy's busy trying to make Tim jealous with her new personality, the girl Tim has to work for to call his.
