BABYBOOT - T.Bradford by lol12435

Hazel Nolan knew her first day as a rookie cop would be intense. She didn't expect to wake up next to a stranger - or for that stranger to turn out to be her training officer. What was supposed to be a one-night mistake turns into something much more complicated when Officer Tim Bradford is assigned to oversee her every move on the job. He's disciplined, coldly professional, and determined to act like that night never happened. But Hazel can't forget it - not the way he looked at her, not the way her heart still races whenever he's near. She's already under pressure. One of the only women in uniform. The daughter of another rookie. Every shift is a fight to be taken seriously. And now she has to do it while keeping her biggest secret in check... and her feelings even tighter. But danger doesn't wait. The streets don't care about boundaries. And as the tension between them builds, so does the risk of crossing a line that could cost them both everything. Bold, emotional, and burning with slow-burn chemistry, Baby Boot is perfect for fans of The Rookie, forbidden romance, and strong women finding their place in a world that wasn't built for them - and breaking every rule to claim it anyway.

Ashley, his girlfriend of over a year, was everything a guy like Tim should want - smart, elegant, and emotionally grounded. She never pried too much into the job, giving Tim the space he claimed he needed. But that's where the problem started. Space. #1 Tim 6/21/25 #1 the rookie 6/27/25

Under Watchful Eyes by Nova120211

Tim's protective instincts go beyond the job-he watches over her off the clock, driven by a growing connection he can't ignore.

Chenford- Almost Said, Always Felt by Calexie84

When Officer Lucy Chen rescues a silent, traumatized little girl, she doesn't expect her whole world to change - or for gruff, guarded Sergeant Tim Bradford to become the steady heartbeat beside her. As they protect Riley and piece together a dark mystery surrounding her past, their partnership deepens into something undeniable. With emotional scars, teasing banter, and slow-burning chemistry, Where the Quiet Lives is a tender, tension-filled love story about found family, healing in the unlikeliest places, and finally letting someone all the way in.

The Deadliest Move - CHENFORD by hosiexa

On a board filled with traps, two sides wage a dangerous battle beneath the façade of a public alliance between nations. On one side stands Tim Bradford, the newest recruit of the U.S. Intelligence Department, though nothing about him screams rookie. At forty years old, he's been a cadet, a squad leader, a police officer, and a sergeant. Now, a hardened spy, thrown into a world where one wrong move means death. On the other, Lucy Chen - the trusted right hand of the most powerful Russian crime syndicate. A girl whose past everyone judges to know. And Tim's mission. There is no loyalty strong enough. No lie safe enough. Only one can survive. And falling in love might be the deadliest move of all. Buckle up. The game is about to begin. | i also post this on AO3 |

The Line We Crossed by SweetSpicySassy

When Officer Lucy Chen is abducted by serial predator Caleb Wright and buried alive, Sergeant Tim Bradford realizes the depth of his feelings for her in the moments he nearly loses her. Wracked with guilt over having encouraged her relationship with the man who betrayed her, Tim becomes both her fiercest protector and her most conflicted secret. Bound by rules that forbid personal entanglements between supervisors and subordinates, Tim and Lucy bury their feelings just as deeply as she was once buried in the desert. But shared trauma, unshakable loyalty, and an undeniable connection keep pulling them closer together. As Lucy recovers and rises through the ranks, the walls between them erode. Each chapter of their journey follows them navigating the blurred line between duty and desire - through guilt, longing, secrecy, and trust. When Lucy earns her sergeant's stripes, the power dynamic that once kept them apart dissolves, forcing them both to confront what they've been running from: the chance at something real. At its heart, this is a story of survival, healing, forbidden love, and two people learning that sometimes the rules worth breaking are the ones that keep them from happiness.

Claiming his rookie by eric_jesse_fan

When Officer Tim Bradford meets his new rookie, Sophia Hale, he isn't prepared for the spark that hits him like a gut punch. She's everything he's not-soft-spoken, idealistic, a little shy-and yet she awakens a protective and possessive instinct he can't ignore. As her training officer, he's supposed to stay professional. But every shift, every glance, and every close call chips away at that wall. When he learns just how innocent she really is, he promises he'll go slow-waiting until she's ready. But lines blur fast when hearts and bodies collide.

BOOK 2 | The Rookie: Collateral Damage [Tim Bradford x Character] by XxMultifandomSimpxX

Book 2 of my "The Rookie" series... After the chaos of her first year on the force and the emotional fallout of an intense undercover drug trafficking case, Officer Rose Whitley returns to patrol, trying to find her footing again-this time with a deepening, complicated bond with her former training officer, Tim Bradford. But peace is short-lived. When the case that nearly killed her is unexpectedly reopened, Rose is reluctantly pulled back in. Promoted temporarily to detective, she finds herself working alongside Detective Wolfe, with Lucy Chen by her side and old ghosts resurfacing-both professionally and personally. All while trying to keep her budding relationship with Tim from imploding. As secrets mount, tension runs high between Rose and Tim. He struggles with the fear of losing her again, while she fights to prove she's more than the trauma she survived. Undercover missions, surveillance vans, steamy close calls, and emotionally-charged late-night dinners test their limits-and their feelings.
