Tested

A Chenford Love Story Forged in Fire, Duty, and Unspoken Feelings.

What if Tim Bradford and Lucy Chen started falling for each other back when she was just a rookie?

Lucy Chen never expected to catch feelings for her no-nonsense, emotionally guarded training officer. But beneath Tim Bradford's rigid exterior was a man of discipline, quiet integrity, and surprising depth-qualities Lucy couldn't ignore, no matter how hard she tried. While still in a relationship with Nolan, Lucy finds herself drawn to Tim in ways that catch her off guard. Their connection is complicated, unspoken... and undeniable.

Tim, still married to his estranged wife Isabel, keeps his emotions locked down-but there's something about Lucy that shakes him. As they face the demands of the job, hidden glances, fleeting touches, and one unexpected compliment begin to blur the lines between professional and personal.

From quiet yearning to slow-burning trust, from heartache to healing-this is the story of how their bond was tested in every way. And how love, when it's real, finds a way.

Set against the early days of The Rookie, Tested is a grounded, emotional journey through the beginning-and forever-of Chenford.
