"Rules. Secrets. Second chances. Rory never asked for this life, but it's the only one she's got."
Rory Bradford has never had it easy.
Being the daughter of LAPD Sergeant Tim Bradford means rules, discipline, and a father who's both her biggest protector and her toughest critic.
Her biological mom, Isabel, walked out years ago, leaving Rory with scars she doesn't always let people see.
But when Rory crosses paths with Emilie Lopez, a quick-witted girl with a heart of gold (and the daughter of Detective Angela Lopez )
she finally finds the best friend she didn't know she needed. Together, the girls take on the chaos of school, family drama, and growing up in the shadow of parents who run headfirst into danger every day.
As Rory struggles to figure out where she belongs, she also has to face a new reality-her dad's girlfriend, Officer Lucy Chen, might just be the mother figure Rory has been missing. And when Isabel suddenly reappears, Rory's world is thrown into turmoil once again.

What If We Were
Lucy and Tim... They used to be the happiest couple you could ever imagine. No one was ever more in love than they were. But then Lucy followed her dream. She went undercover. It wasn't for long-just four months. But Tim took it hard. He was scared for her. He loved her. And yet... he still did what he did. He cheated. Even with all that love in his heart-he betrayed her. He was drunk. And there's not a single minute he doesn't regret it. Lucy didn't hear it from him. She found out from her. The woman. Lucy left the operation early. She was heartbroken. And their love... just couldn't survive it. They broke up. And Lucy? She found comfort in Chris's arms. He was there for her. Support. Safety. A friend. She tried to forget Tim. And she got back together with Chris. But she doesn't love him. She never will. Because in her heart-there's only one man. Tim. Always has been. Always will be. And Tim? He's falling apart. Especially when Chris shows up to pick her up. He wants to punch him. Every time. But he can't. Because this... is all his fault. And no-being drunk isn't an excuse. ⸻ L: Lucy T: Tim A: Angela C: Celina N: Nyla Jo: John G: Grey Ch: Chris (Aaron, Zoe, and Jackson are not part of this story. Tamara-maybe.)Complete

Too soft. Too curious. Too perfect to ruin... And too dangerous not to. But obsession has a pulse. And his is beating for her. As Lucy gets closer to the truth-and to him-lines blur between protector and predator, romance and ruin. And in the end, someone's blood will spill. Will it be hers? Or someone who gets in his way? - 18+|| ‼️Complete
