Aspyn Woods was born into a life most people would kill for--money, popularity, looks, the best best friend/boyfriend, and a life already planned out for her. All she had to do was grown up and take over the life she always dreamed of.
But life has a funny way of reminding you that it doesn't always go according as planned.
It started with her eighteenth birthday being postponed until finals were over. Pre-law was brutal, but she refused to slack off--especially when Wesley was determined to do better than her. Next, it was the fake I.D. that not only got her through exams, but changed her life for good.
9 months later, Aspyn had a her daughter strapped to her chest, dropping all her pre-law classes, and signed up for the FTO program with the LAPD.
3 months after that, she returned home from her birthday dinner with friends, just to find her childhood home turned into a crime scene--both her parents killed. She's still searching for answers.
9 months later, she's a fresh-eyed rookie, ready to get the answers on her parents murder--while balancing her role as CEO of Woods Enterprise, and being a full-time single mom.
Nothing was going to tear her down again, after she's scrapped herself up off the ground again.
Until her two worlds collide and she's forced to confess the one thing made peace with a long time ago. It not only throws Aspyn in another life altering spiral--but this time she has two other people to consider, while keeping her daughters best interest.

A Different Kind Of Rookie
The Girl Who Stopped Asking Anna Lopez learned a long time ago that asking for help only works when someone is willing to listen. After surviving a kidnapping at sixteen and spending years carrying secrets no one believed, she's become an expert at handling everything herself. She's stubborn, sarcastic, fiercely protective, and determined to never be anyone's damsel in distress. Now she's joining the LAPD as a rookie officer alongside the people who have known her longest-her childhood best friend Lucy Chen and her older sister Angela Lopez. The problem? The rest of Mid-Wilshire has no idea who Anna really is. As old wounds resurface and new cases force her to confront the past she's spent years avoiding, Anna finds herself surrounded by people who refuse to let her face everything alone. Unfortunately for her, they care. And that's almost worse. A story about survival, found family, healing, sarcastic coping mechanisms, climbing fences at inappropriate times, and learning that being loved is sometimes the hardest thing of all.
The One Who Stayed
Olivia Harper has spent her entire life surviving. As a child, she learned how to disappear before anyone noticed she was hurting. She learned how to smile through fear, carry burdens alone, and keep moving no matter what. Even after escaping a traumatic childhood and becoming a police officer with the LAPD, some habits are hard to break. Especially the habit of believing she has to face everything by herself. Quiet, stubborn, and secretly soft-hearted, Olivia is the kind of person who leaves coffee on your desk without taking credit, helps strangers without being asked, and would risk her life for someone else without a second thought. But letting people help her? That's another story. Fortunately-or unfortunately-she's surrounded by people who refuse to let her disappear anymore. Her fiercely protective half-sister Nyla Harper. Her lifelong friends Nolan and Angela. An entire police station determined to meddle in her personal life. And one frustratingly loyal training officer named Tim Bradford. As old wounds resurface and a dangerous chapter from Olivia's past threatens her hard-won peace, she finds herself learning a lesson she's avoided her whole life: Sometimes courage isn't surviving alone. Sometimes courage is letting people stay. Filled with found family, quiet faith, healing, laughter, relationship conspiracy boards, and a romance so obvious that everyone notices except the two people involved, The One Who Stayed is a heartfelt story about trust, resilience, and discovering that home isn't a place-it's the people who refuse to leave.

Under Pressure ⊳ The Rookie
"Officer Natalie Monroe?" "Yes, sir?" "Welcome to Mid-Wilshire." Natalie Monroe Badge Number 30387 Police Officer II Hollywood Division ⊳ Mid-Wilshire Division Natalie Monroe didn't become a cop because she thought it was honorable. She became one because she knew exactly what happens when help arrives too late. Armed with a criminology degree and a focus in victim advocacy, Natalie entered the academy with one goal: to make sure no one else was left behind. She graduated at the top of her class, but nothing in training could prepare her for what came next. Out of the four rookies she started with, Natalie was the only one who made it through the year. It didn't take long to learn that surviving this job has nothing to do with being the smartest in the room-it's about whether you can keep standing when everything around you starts to fall apart. At twenty-seven, Natalie has already built a reputation for being sharp under pressure, relentless in the field, and impossible to shake. She graduated at the top of her academy class, survived a rookie year that took out everyone else beside her, and learned the hard way that being a good cop means living with the things you can't fix. Then one call changes everything. What starts as a normal response turns into a nightmare in seconds. The scene is wrong from the moment she arrives. The details don't match. Backup is too far out. The suspect is unpredictable. And before Natalie can get control of the situation, everything explodes. And when the pressure starts closing in, Natalie has to decide who she really is beneath the badge-before the job decides for her. ⎮ Roll Call Series⎮ ⎮Book 1⎮⎮Season 1&2⎮ ⎮ALL RIGHTS RESERVED TO ABC⎮
