Los Angeles is a city that never stops moving - and neither does Officer Sebastian Reyes. Fresh out of the academy and eager to prove himself, he's assigned to a hardened, by-the-book training officer who's seen the worst the streets have to offer. Officer Tim Bradford doesn't believe in shortcuts, second chances, or sentimental attachments - especially not to rookies.
But some lines, once crossed, are impossible to walk back.
As routine patrols evolve into high-stakes investigations, and long nights blur into early mornings, the connection between them deepens in ways neither man expected. With danger closing in and secrets rising to the surface, Sebastian and Tim find themselves balancing duty with desire, loyalty with love - and trying to protect what they never saw coming.
A story of found family, quiet courage, and love in the line of fire, Line of Duty is an emotional, slow-burn romance laced with suspense, heart, and a golden doodle named Parker.

Unspoken Rule of Love
Tim Bradford, a training officer at the Mid-Wilshire Division, is a man of discipline and routine. Behind his tough exterior, though, he's a single father raising his six-year-old daughter, Hope Alexandra Bradford. Hope's mother walked out when she was just a child, leaving Tim to navigate fatherhood on his own. Lucy Chen, recently transferred from Hollywood Division, moved to Mid-Wilshire to be closer to her best friends, Detective Angela Lopez and Officer Celina Juarez. When Chen met Bradford, she saw the kind of seasoned cop who seemed all grit and no play. But behind his walls, Tim was a soft-hearted man devoted to those he loved. 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. Now, they're stuck between duty and desire. How will they navigate the rules, their growing love, and the delicate balance of family with Hope caught in the middle?
The 3 A.M. Rule | Chenford
There's an unspoken rule in the LAPD: if someone calls after 3 a.m., it better be life or death. So when Lucy Chen finds herself dialing Tim Bradford in the middle of the night after a nightmare, she expects silence - not for him to answer on the first ring. The call is short. Quiet. Safe. And it accidentally starts something they can't stop. What begins as a lifeline during sleepless nights becomes a ritual neither of them wants to break. Every call brings them closer - shared silences, confessions half-whispered into darkness, and feelings neither of them can admit under daylight. But when a dangerous call on duty nearly shatters everything, Tim and Lucy are forced to confront what's been growing between them - not with words mumbled through sleep, but with eyes open, hearts racing, and no more excuses. Because after so many calls at 3 a.m., they're both starting to realize... Maybe it was never just about the time. Maybe it's always been about each other. | I also post this on my AO3 account |Complete
