A Total Eclipse of the Heart- Tim Bradford

"You are my pain, divine, divine." -come back to me

Swaha Sharma built her life on control, logic, and an unshakeable duty to the LAPD. Her name meant sacrifice-a flame that consumed everything to keep others safe. But after a quiet tragedy shattered her world, she was left picking up the pieces on her mother's floor, learning how to survive the rain.
Passing the threshold of her own "23 Club," Swaha finds an anchor in Minho: sleek, devoted, and a grounding force of calm in a city built on chaos. With him, she learns what it feels like to be taken care of.

But at Mid-Wilshire, the past is never far behind. Between high-stakes ambushes, drug rings, and the relentless noise of patrol, Swaha and Sergeant Tim Bradford navigate an unsaid tension that neither can fully run from. Tim knows the distance between them is his own doing, but watching the woman he loved build a life with someone else might be the hardest case he's ever had to swallow.

Set against high-society galas, raging forest fires, and long-buried wounds, A Total Eclipse of the Heart is an angst-filled story of healing, forgiveness, and the silent pull between two people who were once each other's entire world.
