"Joining the LAPD was my dream - what I didn't expect was Tim Bradford."
Freshly graduated from the police academy, I'm ready to prove myself as a rookie officer in Los Angeles. Determined, passionate, and maybe a little naïve, I step into the chaos of the city - only to be assigned to the one T.O. who seems colder than a steel wall: Officer Tim Bradford.
Tough, distant, and emotionally guarded, Tim doesn't make it easy. But over time, through long shifts, high-stress calls, and quiet moments in the patrol car, I start to see glimpses of the man behind the badge. And suddenly, things get complicated.
What begins as a professional relationship slowly evolves into something deeper - something neither of us saw coming.
Hidden feelings, secret weekends, moments of jealousy, heated arguments, and stolen kisses...
In a world full of rules, one thing is clear: love wasn't part of the plan.
A slow-burn, emotional and romantic fanfiction set in the world of the LAPD.
Tim Bradford x Reader (OC) - told from the first-person point of view.
Full of tension, tenderness, and forbidden connection.

Unwritten Protocol
Lucy Chen thought she had it all figured out. The road to detective, a new rank, a clean slate. What she didn't plan for was being thrown back into the same rotation as Timothy Bradford. Tim. Her ex. Her once-training officer. And, unfortunately, her biggest distraction. Freshly broken up and still feeling the sting, Lucy was determined to keep things professional.. until the day Sergeant Grey promoted her to temporary training officer. Now she's on equal ground with Tim... and their rookies just happen to be best friends. The chances of two training officers secretly hooking up? Low. But never zero. Because in the LAPD, secrets don't stay buried for long-not when rookies are watching, blackmail is brewing, and one wrong move could destroy everything they've worked for. "Cops gossip more than middle schoolers," Tim muttered. Lucy smirked. "Then we'd better give them something to talk about." When the line between duty and desire starts to blur again, Lucy has to choose, follow the rules... or break them all for the man she swore she was done with. Guys if you saw this before this edit pls forgive me, I do NOT know who wrote 'uwu' on this and I promise it's not me. Swear, someone else messed it up
Chenford ~ Their story
Tim Bradford is a training officer at the LAPD, who gets a new rookie, Lucy Chen. Instantly Tim and Lucy realize, that there's something between them. They both have to hide their feelings towards each other because it would be strictly forbidden to act on them. But what happens when some things are more important than any rules?![Falling For Lucy [The Rookie; Tim Bradford POV]](https://img.wattpad.com/cover/326738156-256-k534152.jpg)
Falling For Lucy [The Rookie; 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!

BABYBOOT - T.Bradford
BABYBOOT Book ONE in the Boot Series Hazel Nolan knew her first day as a rookie cop would be intense. She didn't expect to wake up next to a stranger - or for that stranger to turn out to be her training officer. What was supposed to be a one-night mistake turns into something much more complicated when Officer Tim Bradford is assigned to oversee her every move on the job. He's disciplined, coldly professional, and determined to act like that night never happened. But Hazel can't forget it - not the way he looked at her, not the way her heart still races whenever he's near. She's already under pressure. One of the only women in uniform. The daughter of another rookie. Every shift is a fight to be taken seriously. And now she has to do it while keeping her biggest secret in check... and her feelings even tighter. But danger doesn't wait. The streets don't care about boundaries. And as the tension between them builds, so does the risk of crossing a line that could cost them both everything. Bold, emotional, and burning with slow-burn chemistry, Baby Boot is perfect for fans of The Rookie, forbidden romance, and strong women finding their place in a world that wasn't built for them - and breaking every rule to claim it anyway.Complete

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.
