My story idea is basically about a female bounty hunter whose target is a male perpetrator who has commited a non-violent tech-related crime like computer-hacking or something, maybe having embezzled a large sum of money from a crime syndicate. She'd have to made a lengthy road trip across a few state lines to get him to her destination.
Female character - I don't want to be too cliche, but her character would be tough, rough around the edgtes. She's been unable to maintain any long-term relationsips and hasn't developed her sexuality much despite being mid to late 30s. But she finds herself highly attracted to her bounty and begins to empathize with him.
Male character - He's maybe 7-ish years younger than the female character, is very intelligent and composed. He knows he's in a precarious situation, but complies with the bounty hunter because he's fascinated by her and attracted to her.
And stuff happens. OK, I didn't think this through, hehe. Just curious since this story could go in lots of different ways, I think . Has anybody seen a story like this? Would it be interesting to read?
Yes, Sheila would merely be an on-staff hunter the syndicate sent when hacker Harry vanished with his take. Assuming she's experienced, she is not likely to sympathize with her target. Gotta re-think that premise.Okay since I'm reading this wrong what the hell is a bounty hunter in this world? Cus irl bounty hunters (I think the technical term is bail collector or something) are legal. The crime syndicate doesn't send them out. They have hitmen and the such. Also generally you wouldn't send them after hackers in the first place there are easier ways.
Non-federal LEAs (law enforcement agencies) send detectives, not bounty hunters; the latter usually work for bail bondsmen AFAIK. If you MUST have a non-deadly BH in the story, Harry must jump bail. But he's in jail before he makes bail, and the syndicate would likely know which jail, so he would not survive till the bail hearing. UNLESS...* Law enforcement sends a BH to catch him

It's brain damage, not insanity. I have a skull fracture to prove it. I have since fried that brain pretty thoroughly. If I hadn't, I'd probably rule the world by now. Right.Thanks crazy person!

* Given: Young male hacker; older female hunter; she catches him.
* IRL outcome: She tortures him to retrieve the loot, then kills him.
* Desired outcome: She sympathizes, joins forces, escapes with him.
How to reach that outcome? We need a plausible mechanism to convert Sheila from siccaria to Harry's ally and lover.
* Cheap solution: He buys charisma pheromones making him irresistible.
* Clever solution: He reveals truths to her that bring her to his side.
Sheila catches Harry, wires him to a chair, prepares pins-under-fingernails and cut-off-toes interrogation. He says, "Wait, play that DVD first." The video is stuff he compiled while hacking, stuff about her and the syndicate. Yes, he knew she was after him -- he's been tracing her. She learns The Truth about what the syndics did to her family (she was orphaned young), how they recruited, misled, misused her, and who was responsible for all that. Her previous targets included relatives she didn't know she had. She was a dupe.
That should be enough to shift her allegiance, especially when Harry says he knows where to leak info and disinfo to smash the syndicate and destroy those who warped her. What she saw on the DVD breaks her emotionally, breaks the stony shell around her heart. She sees Harry is a smart, decent, warm guy. She falls. Much sex ensues. Well, she unties him first. Maybe.
They must still run and hide from other hunters whilst he prepares the data bombs. They still encounter helpful strangers. Yeah, more sex, until other hunters close in. Then run again.
One weak point: the syndicate always sends hunters in pairs. Where was Sheila's partner? I guess he suffered food poisoning at a fortuitous moment. Maybe Harry arranged it remotely. Whatever.
Very unprofessional. There's an old list of WHAT EVIL OVERLORDS GET WRONG including gloating / bragging to the tied-up hero, giving him a chance to slip his bonds and inflict justice. Sheila has done hits before; she's a pro. Don't dawdle. Immediately shove an icepick in SnakeEyes' ear and dump the corpse.SnakeEyes is now a liability, so he is taken to the marina. Taking a boat that belongs to the mob boss guy, they handcuff his hands and ankles to the railing, leaving him naked and spread-eagle on the deck. They set the auto-pilot for the open ocean, far away from the shipping lanes, then disable all of the electronics other than the auto pilot. They laugh, knowing the weather will finish him soon. They take the lifeboat back to town and get to work.
