Tim Bradford has built his life on control, order, rules, routines. It's how he survived the worst and stayed on the straight and narrow, literally and otherwise. But when his colleague (she's not his boot anymore) Lucy Chen decides to set him up on a blind date with her brother, things get complicated.
Ryan Chen is charming, unpredictable, and quietly struggling with his own mess of denial, ADHD, and the loyal service dog that keeps him grounded. He's not looking for love. Especially not with a grumpy, emotionally walled-off cop who barely knows what he wants.
Neither man is out. Neither man is ready. But Lucy Chen is done waiting for both of them to get their act together.
What begins as a blind date slowly turns into a battle of wills, a dance of denial, and a connection neither of them expected. As walls crack and past wounds resurface, Tim and Ryan are forced to confront the parts of themselves they've spent a lifetime burying.
I do not own any characters of The rookie. I only own Ryan. I do not consent for my worl to be translated, ask me first.
