What she didn't expect? Being paired with the one training officer everyone warned her about: Officer Tim Bradford stone faced, cold-hearted, and impossible to impress.From day one, they clash. He's all rules and structure. She's instinct and heart. But under the tension is something else something neither of them want to name.Then one brutal shift, Lucy gets hit with a bad period and tries to tough it out. Instead of brushing her off, Tim sees right through her pain... and surprises her with quiet care.That moment should've meant nothing. A week later, they hook up. Once. They agree it was a mistake. But working twelve-hour shifts in a patrol car together makes forgetting impossible-and pretending they don't feel anything? Even harder. Lines blur. Walls break.

When Daisy, a young and determined police officer, was just a recruit in Los Angeles, she had a tumultuous relationship with Tim, a strict and meticulous police sergeant. Their relationship ended abruptly when Daisy, feeling suffocated and seeking a new opportunity, decided to move to New York to join the local police force.

A complex murder case and the involvement of a mysterious criminal organization push them to team up. Despite the tension, the chemistry between them is undeniable. Every moment they spend together brings buried emotions to the surface. Tim tries to maintain control of the situation, but he soon realizes that Daisy has changed-becoming an even more capable and determined officer. Daisy, on the other hand, is torn between the lingering bitterness of their past relationship and the passion that has never truly disappeared. Through dangerous investigations, shootouts, and moments of tension, they must put aside their differences to solve the case.

The Lustful Sound (Book 4) ✓ by m00nset

One phone call. That's all it took to change Francesca "Frankie" Milton's life. She thought she was yelling at her ex, but the moment she heard that deep husky voice on the other end of the line, she knew she had made a big mistake. It wasn't her ex-fiancé's voice. Luckily for her, the man who answered her phone was intrigued by her raw anger and didn't take it personally. Even luckier, he wanted to get to know her a little more. She knew that these phone calls and texts with Luke were just a fling, a way to rebuild her trust in men, and what better way than to talk freely with a stranger from who knows where? That was until one fateful day when he was no longer a stranger and she found herself wondering what was the better choice: giving Luke a chance or trying to forget about him and move on with her life. The problem with those options was that Luke only preferred one of them and was willing to go to great lengths to convince her to choose the right one. He just needed some face to face time to do it. Will she let him? "The Lustful Sound " is Book 4 of the "SWAT Team" series. It can be read as a stand-alone.

"Don't be," he bends down to help pick up the mixture of books and papers and coffee I just spilt everywhere. "Are you okay? You seem disturbed." He lays his hand on mine and 8 can't help but look up, "Umm, to be honest, no, but that's not any of your business. Sorry again." I break the eye contact. "It can be if someone is trying to hurt you." He stops me again. "H- How did you..." I stop and am now looking him dead in the eye. "This is gonna sound creepy, but I've been watching you." He looks panicked, "Not in a creepy way though!" "What?" I keep eye contact. "I've just been observing you. That sounds awful." He looks and sounds even more panicked than before, "I mean, I think you're beautiful and I just didn't know how to approach you. I tend to be socially awkward with girls I have an interest in and I didn't want to scare you off..." He trails off, "But when I see you around, my gaze gravitates towards you," he sighs, "I sound like a total creep. I'm sorry." He pauses, "I've noticed you've been looking over your shoulder a lot and are in a rush in the halls. Almost like you're running away from something..." His eyes meet mine and I can tell he's being genuine, "I can help you." he says sympathetically. I nod and whisper, "He's always knows where I am and always knows my next move."
