Summary
Five years ago, Lucy Chen slept with a stranger at a bar.
On Monday morning, he introduced himself as Officer Tim Bradford, her new TO.What followed was a history of bad timing and worse choices: stolen nights, broken vows, Isabel’s return, Lucy’s silence — and a secret that drove them apart. By the time Lucy transferred out of Mid-Wilshire, she swore she’d never look back.
Now, she’s a sergeant at Hollywood. A single mom. And she hasn’t seen Tim in half a decade.
Until a joint LAPD project forces them into the same room again.
Until the memories they buried refuse to stay buried.
Until the people they are now have to face everything the people they were left behind.Enemies. Lovers. Strangers. Partners.
Some mistakes don’t fade. Some of them grow — into scars, into secrets, into children with eyes too familiar to ignore.- Language:
