Unspoken Rule of Love
Tim Bradford, a training officer at the Mid-Wilshire Division, is a man of discipline and routine. Behind his tough exterior, though, he's a single father raising his six-year-old daughter, Hope Alexandra Bradford. Hope's mother walked out when she was just a child, leaving Tim to navigate fatherhood on his own. Lucy Chen, recently transferred from Hollywood Division, moved to Mid-Wilshire to be closer to her best friends, Detective Angela Lopez and Officer Celina Juarez. When Chen met Bradford, she saw the kind of seasoned cop who seemed all grit and no play. But behind his walls, Tim was a soft-hearted man devoted to those he loved. Slowly, Lucy and Tim became friends, and soon, Chen and Hope developed a close bond as well. One day, Tim and Lucy finally confessed their feelings for each other but the LAPD rules came crashing down. Officers in the same unit cannot be seen dating. Now, they're stuck between duty and desire. How will they navigate the rules, their growing love, and the delicate balance of family with Hope caught in the middle?
What If We Were
Lucy and Tim... They used to be the happiest couple you could ever imagine. No one was ever more in love than they were. But then Lucy followed her dream. She went undercover. It wasn't for long-just four months. But Tim took it hard. He was scared for her. He loved her. And yet... he still did what he did. He cheated. Even with all that love in his heart-he betrayed her. He was drunk. And there's not a single minute he doesn't regret it. Lucy didn't hear it from him. She found out from her. The woman. Lucy left the operation early. She was heartbroken. And their love... just couldn't survive it. They broke up. And Lucy? She found comfort in Chris's arms. He was there for her. Support. Safety. A friend. She tried to forget Tim. And she got back together with Chris. But she doesn't love him. She never will. Because in her heart-there's only one man. Tim. Always has been. Always will be. And Tim? He's falling apart. Especially when Chris shows up to pick her up. He wants to punch him. Every time. But he can't. Because this... is all his fault. And no-being drunk isn't an excuse. ⸻ L: Lucy T: Tim A: Angela C: Celina N: Nyla Jo: John G: Grey Ch: Chris (Aaron, Zoe, and Jackson are not part of this story. Tamara-maybe.)Complete

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!
