Tim Bradford thought he already knew exhaustion, heartbreak, and responsibility-until he became a single dad to a five year old girl still asking why mommy doesn't come home anymore.
Starting pre-k was supposed to be simple. Drop her off. Pick her up. Repeat.
Then she met Miss Chen.
Warm, patient, and somehow able to get his daughter to smile on the very first day, Lucy Chen slowly becomes the one person both Bradford girls can't stop talking about.
And for the first time in years, Tim starts wondering if maybe broken things can heal.

Her family has been trying to set her up since she was 20, but every single date never had a sequel. As the youngest of 5 kids, she had always been behind her older siblings; Aria, Tyler, Rose and Reese, but all her siblings were at least engaged by 28, but Lucy is 27 and never even had a serious relationship. Her parents, Vanessa and Patrick Chen, have always told her that when she finds "the one," she would know.

He recently got divorced from his wife, Isabel after she got addicted to drugs, and his best friend, Angela Lopez, has been trying to set him up again. During Tim's marriage, he hated everything about it, not because she was controlling, not because she cheated, not because he and Isabel argued constantly, all though the latter two were true, its because he never truly loved her. The only good thing Tim got from his marriage was his son, Oliver, who he got full custody of when the divorce was final. Tim has avoided dating since the divorce, not wanting to make Ollie think he was replacing his mother. Even if Isabel was a horrible person, she was still the mother of his child.

Despite feeling something, Tim doesn't expect their relationship to go anywhere, so he doesn't tell Lucy about Ollie. But over time, Tim realises he's falling for her...hard.

You can't escape love - a decision that destroyed everything?
For two years, everything seemed perfect. A shared home. The same uniform. The same future. Tim and Lucy. What connected them was more than love-it was trust and the belief that shared goals are strong enough to withstand any challenge. Until one decision changes everything. When Lucy becomes unintentionally pregnant, she makes a choice that feels unavoidable to her. Her career is just beginning, her future within reach-and she is not ready to give it up. For Tim, however, the unborn life is already real. Hope. A future. Something he cannot let go of. What follows is an argument. A battle between love and conviction. Between the right to decide over one's own body and the desire for a shared future. Even though they still love each other, it is no longer enough. The separation comes without many words, but with final consequences. New cities. New relationships. New roles. And yet something remains unresolved. Guilt. Loss. Unfinished feelings. Months later, it is the next step in their careers that forces them back together-at Mid-Wilshire. Professional. Controlled. Distant. But when a joint undercover assignment forces them into close proximity, those boundaries begin to falter. Old wounds reopen. Feelings that never disappeared demand their place once more. They know they are going too far. They know they are breaking promises they made to others. They know that sometimes love is not enough to forgive. And yet they find themselves drawn deeper and deeper into something they once believed they had lost. Because what if you can't escape love? What if some decisions destroy everything-except what you feel for each other?
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
