Before you begin, you must know that it's been quite a while since I started writing a book. Which means, I am severely out of practice. I am writing The Wrong Instinct because I need to continue my hobbies and not let go of them just because I am growing up. I may not be the best author or storyteller but I owe it to my thirteen year old self to give it a try.
If you're wondering where this story will lead, trust me--I am wondering the same thing. I may have the basic outline of the story but I don't plan my entire plot beforehand (I can but I like the freedom this method gives me). Being a plotter restricts my flow and I eventually end up abandoning the project.
To those who are genuinely interested in the story, I will try to be consistent with the updates and I hope that those that stick around enjoy my little creation.
much love, shravani.

blurb
Alexa Bailey is a homicide detective who was shot in the line of duty. A year later, she is finally cleared to be on the field and has been on a streak ever since she has returned. But when a familiar name comes up in an ongoing investigation, she turns to an unexpected person--someone she arrested for second degree murder years ago.
Ty Archer is charming in his own kind of way. Bound to a cell for the rest of his life, the last thing he anticipated was to be needed by someone who had put him there in the first place.
With the sudden entertainment in his hand, she knows he holds the key to cracking her case wide open. He is not making it easy. But Alexa has been playing this game for a long time. She knows all of his moves.
Except one.
The one that makes him her partner.
