    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.

    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.

    Summary

    They were never supposed to play the same game.

    Lucy Chen is on the edge of becoming tennis’ next global superstar.
    Tim Bradford is already there—world number one, disciplined, untouchable.

    They don’t compete on the same courts.
    They don’t live under the same expectations.

    But somewhere between early-morning practices, press conferences, and matches that define careers—
    they start crossing lines neither of them can afford.
