Lucy Chen thought she had it all figured out. The road to detective, a new rank, a clean slate.
What she didn't plan for was being thrown back into the same rotation as Timothy Bradford.
Tim. Her ex. Her once-training officer.
And, unfortunately, her biggest distraction.
Freshly broken up and still feeling the sting, Lucy was determined to keep things professional.. until the day Sergeant Grey promoted her to temporary training officer.
Now she's on equal ground with Tim... and their rookies just happen to be best friends.
The chances of two training officers secretly hooking up?
Low.
But never zero.
Because in the LAPD, secrets don't stay buried for long-not when rookies are watching, blackmail is brewing, and one wrong move could destroy everything they've worked for.


"Cops gossip more than middle schoolers," Tim muttered.
Lucy smirked. 
"Then we'd better give them something to talk about."


When the line between duty and desire starts to blur again, Lucy has to choose,
follow the rules... or break them all for the man she swore she was done with. 

Guys if you saw this before this edit pls forgive me, I do NOT know who wrote 'uwu' on this and I promise it's not me. Swear, someone else messed it up

'Who are you to tell me that? You never know what someone else is going through.' I was about to keep walking but he stopped me with a light touch from his arm. 'I'm Tim Bradford, a training officer. If I'm the one training you then you're in for a hell of an adventure.' I gave Tim obvious dirty looks. 'Well I know you won't be.' I said. 'Now would you excuse me because I'm 'so late'.' Tim and Lucy's partnership began as a rookie and T.O. dynamic, a familiar phrase in the world of law enforcement.

16 parts Ongoing Mature
Sofia Salvatore is no stranger to chaos. As a former Navy Corpsman with battlefield scars and a sharp tongue, she's used to surviving under pressure. What she didn't expect was to fall for the one man who might just match her grit - LAPD training officer Tim Bradford. After a quiet wedding kept far from the eyes of the LAPD, Sofia sets her sights on a new goal: becoming a cop herself. When she walks into Mid-Wilshire as a rookie, no one knows she's already married to the notoriously tough and disciplined Bradford - no one except Sergeant Wade Grey, who keeps their secret out of respect and trust. Assigned to her own husband as her Training Officer, Sofia must walk a razor-thin line between professionalism and affection, all while proving she belongs in one of the toughest precincts in the city. While John, Lucy, and Jackson navigate the trials of their rookie year, Sofia balances two lives: one as "Corps," the competent, respected ex-military rookie, and one as Tim's wife, sharing stolen moments and whispered conversations behind closed doors. As danger escalates and lives hang in the balance, the line between personal and professional begins to blur. Through high-stakes arrests, undercover missions, heartbreak, and triumph, Sofia and Tim must fight to keep their love hidden - and strong - in a world where exposure could cost them everything

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.

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?

Shut out of the official investigation, Rose begins to dig in secret - breaking rules, risking her badge, and pulling Bradford along with her. As the case unravels and the stakes climb higher, the line between right and wrong blurs. So does the line between hate and something much deeper.
