Summary
“You should’ve taken the bribe, Sergeant; started a new life,” Everett says.
Tim stares him down. “There’s no way that ever would’ve happened,” he says plainly. He won’t ever throw away his integrity like that, no matter the cost.
“I don't need that kind of money. I don't even want it,” he had told Everett during the arrest, and he hasn’t changed his mind on that. “Maintaining my integrity? That's priceless.”
“This mistake will come back to haunt you,” he had responded. “You have my word on that.”
“In that case,” Everett responds, smiling eerily, “You really should’ve just gone to jail.”

Summary
“Miles said you seemed to know the woman,” Lucy says, placing a hand over his.
Tim pauses.
Know is a strong word. One that he isn’t sure applies here.
He knew her, once. A long time ago. She cooked him dinner and bought him and Genny ice cream in the park and silently handed him ice packs when his bruises looked particularly bad. He kissed her cheek after she dropped him off at football practice and promised her it was okay as she drove him to the emergency room with a broken rib—even listened when she suggested he tell them he’d tripped down the stairs.
But nothing good lasts in a house like that.
Or:
Tim encounters a familiar face on a call, and soon realises he's going to have to confront the past he thought he'd made peace with.Bookmarked by Kayla1

Summary
Either way, the point was; she had wanted this.
So, all she had to do was figure out a way to be able to look him in the eye again without remembering that she had spent this morning touching herself to thoughts of him.
No big deal.

Summary
An arrest leads Tim to reuniting with his estranged mother, who abandoned them when he was 18. (I am not great at summaries.)
---
She’s dressed smartly in dark slacks and a light-blue blouse, her short hair—grey with a coppery tint to it—bobbing angrily as she snaps at Miles and a doctor standing a little to the side. As Tim and Nolan get closer, it becomes clear this is about the blood draw. Joshua Kendall already gave his consent, not that he had much of a choice. But clearly, mom wants to make this more difficult than it needs to be.
Okay.
Watching Miles squirm like this is entertaining, but he wasn’t actually there and has no idea what happened—and Kendall’s mom needs to back off.
“Ma’am,” he says, voice firm—because he has absolutely no problem handling pissed-off civilians even if it’s not exactly his idea of fun. “I’m Sergeant Tim Bradford. I’m the one who arrested your…”

Summary
When Lucy Chen arrives at a remote lighthouse bed-and-breakfast in the teeth of a winter storm, she expects an old lady and a warm room, not the quiet, guarded man who has inherited the place. Tim has built his life on solitude, his dog, his cooking, the steady rhythm of waves against stone. But Lucy’s unexpected arrival unsettles that calm, drawing colour back into the faded edges of his days. As storms batter the coast, both will be forced to face the truths they’ve been avoiding: that sometimes strangers carry the very changes you never knew you needed.
