Tim Bradford is the ruthless heir to the throne of the Bradford Crime Family, the most powerful mafia family in all of California that feds and cops desperately try to catch, with no avail and many casualties. All crime families across California desperately want to be the Bradford Family but have never come close. Tim has been training for his eventual takeover since he was five years old, and the fifteen years he's been doing this have made him incredibly muscular, but not only that. He's responsible for the majority of the family's crimes over the past decade and is worth almost as much as his father, in crime money and reward money. As Tim's father grows older, Tim prepares to take over after his Retirement. But his father is determined to expand the family in numbers and power before then, so he arranges for Tim to marry the heiress of the second most powerful crime family in the state, Lucy Chen. The Chen Crime Family is notoriously known as the strongest female-dominated crime family in the country. The heiress, Lucy Chen, is possibly the most powerful of the bunch, despite being the smallest and only nineteen years old. Lucy is worth almost a quarter of a billion dollars in crime money and reward money. She has been committing crimes worth a death sentence since the womb, and every man or woman who's ever underestimated her has paid for it in blood, reputation, or silence. So when her mom tells her that she's arranged for her to get married, Lucy smirks like she's been handed a loaded weapon and says she'll play along-because if the Bradfords want a queen, she'll make sure they learn exactly what kind of kingdom she intends to rule. But as threats close in on both empires, Tim and Lucy's alliance twists into something far more dangerous. Fear becomes the fuse, love becomes the explosion, and the possibility of losing their parents forces them to imagine a future where the two of them rule California side-by-side - or burn it down together.

Childhood friends turned strangers. When abandonment happens and she feels like her whole world is about to crumble, he reappears, unbeknownst to both of them. After comforting each other in a time of deep need, they end up in each other's paths once again, and the chemistry is undeniable.

Tim Bradford is the most popular player on the Los Angeles Rams football team. He's been playing for the Rams since he was twenty-five, after serving in the army for seven years. Now that he's heading into his eleventh season, the team manager and coach are reluctant to sign him for another season, especially after his divorce from his wife, whom fans adored. Tim's career is at risk, and a few of his teammates-Wesley Evers, John Nolan, Miles Penn, Jackson West, Aaron Thorsen, and James Murray-have been suggesting that he find a girlfriend to hopefully get signed, as they all have wives, girlfriends, and fiancées, and they all got signed. Lucy Chen is a cheerleader for the Los Angeles Rams. She is well-known but not entirely famous. People mainly know her because of her ex-fiancé, Chris Stanford, who is a famous movie star. They were set to get married just after the last season ended, but then Chris left her at the altar, calling her later to tell her he was getting married to his co-star, Ashley McGrady. Somehow Lucy was blamed by people, so when Tim proposes the idea of fake dating for their mutual benefit, she accepts. But over time, Tim and Lucy really fall in love, and the line between fake and real seems to blur.

Lucy and Tim are secretly dating.... What will happen?

Aurora Horizon is a small town on the coastline of California. It's got gorgeous beaches, beautiful hikes with views meant to be photographed, and Aurielle Point, the gorgeous cliff named after the town founder's one true love. The current mayor-and most eligible bachelor-is Tim Bradford, who has lived here all his life, apart from when he served in the army. For years, Tim's friends have been trying to set him up with every new arrival to the town, but he has been focused completely on his job as the mayor and helping his mom at her market. Until Lucy Chen moves to Aurora Horizon, and his whole "I don't need love" act dies. Lucy Chen has lived in Los Angeles her whole life, working on her dreams of becoming a published author and opening a bookstore coffee shop. But she knows living in the city, it won't be nearly as easy to fulfill those dreams as in a small town. So she packs up her life and moves to Aurora Horizon, a small town on the coastline of California in the Imperial area. Lucy moves into the house in the town that she inherited a few years ago after her grandmother passed away and makes friends almost immediately when her car breaks down outside of the coffee shop, Horizon Brew and Co. Where she meets Angela Lopez and the mayor, Tim Bradford. Over time she works on her novel and makes more and more friends, who always make sure she knows Tim Bradford is single but she's too busy working on her novel and dream's to date... Or so she says. Because she slowly realises that she is in love with Tim, so much so that she realizes he's the main character in her story, just with a different name. The town is trying to set them up. Tim and Lucy keep denying it, but they both have feelings. Then Lucy's bookstore opening changes everything.

Lucy Chen and Tim Bradford fell in love with eachother at the age of fifteen. They both had complicated lives at home and found peace with eachother. And on Tim's sixteenth birthday their relationship took a step that would change their lives forever. That night was the night they both felt safest in their entire lives and one thing lead to another. About a month later Lucy found out she was pregnant and she tried her best to hide it from her parents for two months but her body started changing so she broke down and told them. She thought they would be supportive and help her through it but instead they started yelling. After a few days of arguing, they agreed to let her keep it so for the next six months Lucy hid her pregnancy from everyone except her parents and Tim. But when she gave birth, her parents kept Tim out of the loop and didn't tell Lucy their plan. They had put Lucy's baby up for adoption and we're taking Lucy and moving to D.C. For years Lucy completely ignored her parents presence and their relationship shattered, especially since they refused to tell her anything about her daughter or let her contact Tim. For years Tim thought Lucy had chosen to keep him from his daughter and that resulted in his permanent horrible mood. Even after ten years he was constantly scowling and earned the nickname grumpy cop when he joined the LAPD. He only ever smiled around his friends, Mom and sister, but even then it was always like he was forcing it. Until Lucy transferred to his station from D.C. Over the next five years they got back together, got married and had a daughter who they named Addy and that grumpy cop nickname disappeared. They were still looking for their first born daughter but refused to let it consume them. Until they arrested a group of kids and find out the truth about the fifteen year old girl. Ellie Rose.

Lucy Chen has spent months rebuilding a quiet, safe life for herself and her 8-year-old son, hoping their past would stay far behind them. When their boys become best friends at school, she slowly grows close to Tim Bradford, another single parent who understands loss in his own way. Their connection feels easy and warm, giving Lucy a sense of hope she hasn't felt in years. But everything shatters when someone she thought she'd escaped returns, threatening the fragile peace she's created. As her world crumbles, Tim becomes the one steady place she can turn to, and together they begin to discover what it truly means to build a family.

Tim Bradford is a 28-year-old widower. He is the father of three beautiful children. His oldest daughter is 13 years old, her name is Olivia Bradford. Then he has a son who is 5 years old, Matthew, and the youngest is only 3 years old, Chloe. They lost their beloved mother, and Tim lost the love of his life. Tim is a sergeant with the LAPD. Until now, they had a nanny whom the children had known since they were little... but unfortunately, she had to resign. And now Tim is looking for a new one... sadly, so far without success. Lucy Chen is a 24-year-old young woman. She loves children! That's why she started working as a nanny! She always wished to work in a kindergarten, but unfortunately, she hasn't been accepted anywhere yet... She has already worked as a nanny for one family, but because they had to move, she had to leave. Lucy has a boyfriend, Chris, and they are happy together... or at least that's what it seems like. Will someone bring Tim's heartbeat back to life? T: Tim L: Lucy O: Olivia M: Matthew C: Chloe Ch: Chris A: Angela
