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?

Obsession
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?
