Falling For Lucy [Tim Bradford POV]

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!
