The Inspiration
I was inspired to write Partner in Crime by watching some soap operas and movies with strong female leads. It's unusual to see a female protagonist assist the male protagonist and take the lead of the story in action. I always wanted to prove to the world that women are not weak in terms of emotion and, of course, physicality. This book 'partner in crime' and all my upcoming works revolve around the tag "strong female lead" or "kickass heroine," as this is something I can relate to and extend my imagination to put those in words. So, if you enjoy reading books with strong characters, give Partner in Crime a try. A novel with suspense, action, and a sweet romance.
Let's Dive In
“An action sweetened with romance”
Officer Aiden Johnson is not his type. Despite her physical appearance she is strong, a well-trained fighter, she is the first young officer who took over many cases in the south police department, she fights for justice but not a stickler. A woman who never cares about social status and never bothers about society’s opinions, she prefers to be in a silent environment and in a small circle of friends, an introvert, calm yet hot headed, to be more specific she is a person who is serious, blunt and dry.
Idol Riley Mintz is not her type. An unpopular idol who was dispelled from a famous boy group due to an unsolved scandal. A celebrity who will do anything to please the public, a person who never hesitates to fake himself. Society’s opinions is his first priority, in a way that negative topics of him puts him under deep pressure. A man who hangs out often, mingles with many friends, extrovert, playful and dramatic.
Fired and break up, Aiden was ready to take over any job as for shortage of finance, from all the jobs applied she receives an instant reply from Lawyer Mintz, who is looking for a bodyguard to protect his son, Riley Mintz.
