Summary
Fifteen years after their hearts were broken, Detective Sergeant Lucy Chen transfers to Mid-Wilshire Division, seeking nothing more than a promotion and a fresh start. She never expected to come face-to-face with her past in the form of Patrol Sergeant Tim Bradford—the man she once loved, the man she had to let go, and the man who still holds a piece of her heart.
As they navigate the delicate dance of pretending to be strangers in a workplace where everyone knows everyone's business, their history remains a carefully guarded secret. But secrets have a way of surfacing, especially when old feelings refuse to stay buried. With friends who are too perceptive for their own good and a past that neither has truly moved on from, Lucy and Tim find themselves facing a future they never thought possible.
In a world where they once shared the spotlight as Canada's favorite on-screen couple, can they find their way back to each other in the unscripted reality of the LAPD? Or will the ghosts of their past and the secrets they keep, keep them apart forever?

Summary
Tim and Lucy’s first meeting triggers an instant, overwhelming mate bond. As her TO, Tim brutally shuts it down (her down), citing his marriage, their age difference, and the risks of their job, leaving Lucy hurt and angry.
What follows is a journey of pain and healing. Tim must confront the damage he caused and learn to be the alpha Lucy deserves. Lucy, guarded and resilient, slowly lets him back in while navigating trauma, duty, and the undeniable pull that refuses to let them go.
*some chapters are canon based, but not all*

Summary
Tim Bradford and Lucy Chen haven’t spoken in years. They built their lives and careers separately, protecting what they believed mattered most: the job.
Over time, and with the silence they chose to keep, the loneliness begins to weigh, and, separately, they both make the same decision: to adopt.
That’s how Mia and Tamara come into their lives, bringing not only the colors that were missing, but also sunflowers and golden curls.
Just when everything finally seems to be in place, Lucy is transferred to Mid-Wilshire as the new day-shift sergeant, putting them face to face once again.

Summary
The last place Tim Bradford expects to find his soulmate is sitting in the shop beside him.
On her first day as his rookie.
Or: Lucy and Tim are rookie and TO who happen to sometimes understand each other in metaphysical ways. It's completely fine. Tim thinks it's fine, and he knows that Lucy thinks it's fine, too, thanks to the aforementioned metaphysical understanding. And if they're hyperconscious of not brushing up against each other by accident, well--Tim thinks that might be the only thing maintaining the illusion that Lucy is nothing more than a rookie he thinks about a little too often.
