Borderline
When Lucy Chen, a sharp and ambitious defense attorney, and Tim Bradford, a no-nonsense LAPD patrol sergeant, discover they've been signed up for LA's hottest new dating show without their consent, they're less than thrilled-especially when they realize they already know each other from their professional run-ins in court and on cases. Forced into close quarters with cameras rolling 24/7, the by-the-book cop and the passionate lawyer who've spent years professionally sparring must navigate ridiculous dating challenges, eliminate other contestants, and somehow convince producers (and themselves) that they're actually compatible. Between their clashing worldviews, undeniable chemistry, and the mounting pressure to either couple up or get voted off, the line between what's real and what's for the cameras begins to blur. But when the competition heats up and real feelings start creeping in, both Tim and Lucy have to decide: are they willing to cross the borderline between professional adversaries and something more-or will they walk away before anyone gets hurt?Complete
I Dare You
What starts as harmless fun turns into a slow-burning fire neither of them expected. When Lucy dares Tim to steal Smitty's donut, it kicks off a string of playful challenges between them-everything from prank calls to ridiculous uniforms and flirty games on patrol. The whole precinct watches the escalating dares like it's their favorite show, complete with bets and running commentary (Celina might be their biggest shipper). But what begins as innocent teasing quickly grows more personal-and more dangerous to their hearts. The dares start cutting close, emotions rise, and the line between friendship and something more begins to blur. One wall pin, one whispered confession, and one final dare will change everything. Because the biggest risk of all... is falling in love.Complete
"Almost Wasn't Enough"
Lucy Chen is happy with Chris-he's sweet, reliable, everything she should want. But "should" doesn't feel like "right." Because then there's Tim Bradford. Her partner. Her constant. Her impossible maybe. Tim watches Lucy with someone else, smiles through the ache, and keeps his distance. But distance can't hide the way his world shifts every time she laughs, or the way his heart clenches every time she says someone else's name. When a single night of patrol turns into undeniable sparks and a near-confession, everything starts to unravel. Secrets come close to the surface. Tim holds back, and Lucy starts to wonder why it hurts when he does. With a little help (and a push) from Angela, truths get harder to ignore. Tension builds. Lines blur. And one bold confession sets off a cascade that changes everything. From heartbreak to healing, this is a story of missed chances, second tries, and finally getting it right.Complete
The road we never finished

Until she's assigned to a four-month undercover operation. Living in a van. Posing as a couple. Driving from Los Angeles down the coast to Baja, Mexico. With her ex. Every touch is "for the cover." Every kiss is supposed to be fake. But the longer they're trapped together, the harder it is to ignore the tension, the memories... and the questions Lucy never got answers to. Because Tim didn't just leave. He hid something. And somewhere between fake love and real danger, Lucy is about to find out the truth - The real reason he walked away.Complete
