"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.

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
