Rules of Engagement

When rookie cop Lucy Chen is paired with her hard-edged training officer, Tim Bradford sparks fly-but not the kind either of them is allowed to act on. Under Tim's relentless standards and steady guidance, Lucy grows into a confident officer. But as they face long nights, life-or-death calls, and quiet moments no rulebook can prepare them for, their connection deepens into something undeniable. Caught between duty and desire, loyalty and longing, they walk a tightrope of emotional restraint. Every stolen glance, almost every confession threatens to tip them over the edge. Can they keep the line between professional and personal intact-or will one moment be all it takes to change everything? A slow-burn, tension-filled love story with heart, heat, and all the rules worth breaking. Would you like a shorter version too-for social media or a blurb?
