Summary
After a lifetime of psychological manipulation at the hands of her therapist parents, Lucy Chen seeks solace and purpose in the police academy. Finally free, she falls for Dean, unaware he's about to become her worst nightmare. Trapped in an abusive relationship, with her own parents complicit in her torment, Lucy arrives on the force as a rookie, broken and obedient. Her only goal is to survive. But when she's partnered with the perceptive Tim, her carefully constructed walls begin to crumble. Will Tim be the lifeline Lucy desperately needs, or will the darkness of her past consume her completely?
I do not own any of these characters except for dean and any other ocs I add in, Lucy's backstory is also very different in this.
Warnings: abuse, sexual assault, manipulation, scars, suicidal thoughts, eating disorders, possessiveness, depression, anxiety. Warnings will be displayed on each chapter.

Summary
There was no world in which Tim Bradford hadn’t loved Isabel Holloway.
He could still hear her laugh, the teasing way she called his name like she was always daring him to follow.“You don’t know what it’s like to be pulled apart and stitched back together wrong.”
He could still feel her hands on his face — every kiss aching with things left unsaid.
Tim knew it didn’t have to be this way.There was no world in which Isabel survived loving Tim Bradford.
She could still smell him in the old shirts she tucked away: peppermint and cedarwood, motor oil, garlic and burnt toast from mornings he forgot the pan while watching her like she was everything.
"He looked at me like I was something worth believing in, and I hated him for it — because I could never look in the mirror and see what he saw. I couldn’t bare the thought of failing him."
She remembered how he stood in doorways like he was holding up the sky.
How the streetlights poured gold on his shoulders the night she slipped out of their bed and left.Isabel knew it was always going to end this way.

Summary
Everyone knew that Tim Bradford was a grumpy hardass.
Not everyone had to spend 12+ hours a day with him as a direct supervisor capable of getting them fired.
Everyone knew that Bradford was in a foul mood today.
Not everyone had to figure out why.
Touch-starved, Lucy thought. That’s what her therapist would call it. The kind of man who’d die for people, but didn’t think he was allowed to need them.
