Annabelle Nash was born with courage in her blood and ambition in her heart.
The daughter of LAFD Captain Bobby Nash, Annabelle grew up surrounded by heroes - but she was never content to follow in anyone's footsteps simply. Determined to forge her own path, she joined the U.S. Navy straight out of high school, rising to become one of the few elite female naval aviators. Annabelle was fast, fearless, and fiercely independent and lived for the adrenaline of the skies - until a mission changed everything. Carrying the weight of the past and the scars of survival, she made the painful decision to leave the cockpit behind.
Now, back in Los Angeles, Annabelle is starting a new chapter as a police officer, trading her flight suit for a badge but keeping every bit of her edge. Sharp-witted, strong-willed, and unafraid to break the rules when it matters, Annabelle quickly makes a name for herself on the force. But the toughest battle she faces isn't on the streets - it's the one inside her heart.
Enter Tim Bradford - the seasoned, disciplined training officer with a guarded soul of his own. From the moment they meet, sparks fly. Tim sees through Annabelle's armor, recognizing the strength, pain, and determination that mirror his own. What starts as mutual respect soon grows into a powerful bond built on trust, loyalty, and a chemistry that neither of them can deny. But Annabelle isn't used to letting her guard down, and trusting someone with her heart is a risk far greater than anything she ever faced in the air or on the streets.
With the constant danger of life on the force, the weight of family expectations, and the ghosts of her past threatening to pull her under, Annabelle must decide if she's ready to let herself fall - not into danger, but into love.
In a world where every choice can be life or death, Annabelle Nash is about to discover that the bravest thing she'll ever do is let herself be truly seen.

Afterschock || Tim Bradford
Some people break like glass. She learned how to shatter silently. Skylar Altair wasn't supposed to wear a badge. At twenty-four, she was a certified prodigy-board-certified in half a dozen specialties, a nuclear medicine and neuro-path genius, a rising star in a white coat. The youngest. The brightest. The girl who never failed. But trauma doesn't care about your résumé. Loss doesn't care how many degrees you've earned. And the world doesn't stop spinning just because your soul flatlines. Her father died in front of her eyes when she was twelve. Her brother spiraled into addiction. And when she needed help most-when everything was taken from her in a single night-no one came. Not the heroes. Not the law. Not the system. So she stopped waiting. They taught her how to save people. Now she's going to learn how to protect herself. With the steel of a soldier in her blood and the precision of a surgeon in her bones, Skylar trades the hospital lights for sirens, scrubs for Kevlar. Becoming a cop was never the plan. But plans change-especially after the aftershock. In a city that's breaking at the seams, Skylar will have to confront everything she tried to bury: her rage, her grief, her brilliance, and the terrifying possibility that maybe-just maybe-she was meant for this life all along. Genius. Survivor. Rookie. She's not trying to be a hero. She's just trying not to fall apart again.
