Big city model Lucy has had enough of flashing cameras, fake smiles, and a life that doesn't feel like hers anymore. So she escapes to a quiet little town, buys a fixer-upper, and vows to start fresh. The only problem? Her "charming" new house is one strong breeze away from falling apart. Enter Tim-a grumpy, old-school contractor who'd rather be working with his hands than dealing with a big-city runaway who has no idea which end of a hammer to hold. He's well-loved around town, has a knack for fixing just about anything (including the occasional car in his garage), and absolutely did not sign up to have his peaceful life turned upside down by a glamorous stranger. But as sparks fly between arguments and drywall, Lucy and Tim might just discover that love can show up where you least expect it... even on a construction site.

In the Line of Desire
"She's just my rookie." and "He's just my Sergeant." Only if it were that simple there'd be no story to tell... Lucy Chen joined the LAPD to prove herself.

At first, their partnership is a clash of wills, but underneath the tension simmers something neither of them dares name. When Lucy's personal life implodes and Tim's fractured relationship pushes him past his limits, the two find themselves circling closer-caught between duty, desire, and the unspoken bond that grows with every shift.

Always Been You
Lucy never planned to fall for anyone, let alone her boyfriend's best friend. But when Eli walks out the second she finds out she's pregnant, it's Tim Bradford who shows up. Big, broad, brutally protective-and exactly the kind of steady she swore she didn't need. He's not supposed to want her. She's not supposed to crave him. But late nights turn into soft touches, teasing banter turns into stolen kisses, and suddenly, Lucy's falling-hard-for the man who's been there since the moment everything fell apart. He cooks for her. Rubs her feet. Worships every curve of her changing body like it's the most sacred thing he's ever touched. She's carrying another man's baby. But Tim's the one holding her heart. And when the truth about just how many babies she's carrying finally comes out... everything changes.

Obsession

Clean kills and quiet exits. But the night he walks into that bar and sees her-Lucy, all bright eyes and bruised past-something in him fractures. Something he can't put back. She's not his type. 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
