The Question of Redby Laksmi Pamuntjak

From award-winning Indonesian author Laksmi Pamuntjak comes a tale of profound love against the backdrop of myth, culture, and politics.

In this sweeping saga of love, loss, revolution, and the resilience of the human spirit, Amba must find the courage to forge her own path.

Amba was named after a tragic figure in Indonesian mythology, and she spends her lifetime trying to invent a story she can call her own. When she meets two suitors who fit perfectly into her namesake's myth, Amba cannot help but feel that fate is teasing her. Salwa, respectful to a fault, pledges to honor and protect Amba, no matter what. Bhisma, a sophisticated, European-trained doctor, offers her sensual pleasures and a world of ideas. But military coups and religious disputes make 1960s Indonesia a place of uncertainty, and the chaos strengthens Amba's pursuit of freedom. The more Amba does to claim her own story, the better she understands her inextricable bonds to history, myth, and love.

Throw Downby Grace James

A gritty and emotional MMA Fighter Romance, featuring a tortured anti-hero and a straight-talking heroine…

Evan Crowe –
I fell in love with her when I was just a kid. That age where you just live your life and never think about the consequences. I gave her everything – all of me.
When she disappeared, part of me died.
Then, one day, there she is… looking at me from across the street with those big brown eyes of hers…
But I ain't a dumb kid anymore. The girl is poison, I know that now. No matter how much I still want her, I can fight it.
Fighting is what I do.
In the cage, they call me ‘The Pitbull'. They say I'm rabid.
And they're right… because I can't decide if I want to choke her out, or fuck her.

Scarlett Adams –

Still, I couldn't resist him.

He gave me everything, and I took it. I let him love me, even though I didn't deserve it. I was weak…
But that was a long time ago. I'm stronger now, and I'm back.
The thing is, the boy I left behind is gone. The man that's here in his place is damaged. Twisted. Broken.
And it's all my fault.
