Male protagonist in a world ruled by women

Unread post

On an island ruled by women, young men must duel each other with stun swords to impress young ladies and attract romantic interest.

Dario, a boy yearning for freedom and equality, is selected to duel in front of the girl he loves. He has no desire to fight his friends, and little chance of winning. Will he refuse to duel, suffering punishment and humiliation? Or will he ruin his chances of winning her heart through an embarrassing defeat?

His problems get more complicated when a former ally hijacks his revolutionary plans, turning them into an evil power grab. Real, deadly fighting breaks out for the first time on the island.

Thank you for the encouraging words. I've put a lot of effort into condensing half the book in those paragraphs. :)

I'm about to start work on a sequel to Against Her Other Love (working title: Against All Odds), and I've sketched out the plot for a sequel to Against Her Gentle Sword (working title: Against the Trade Winds). Hopefully they'll both be out by midyear. My intent is to make every book in the series self-resolving (without unfair cliffhangers). I'll keep you guys updated here.

A new adventure in this series is available for pre-order: Against All Odds - the continuation of Against Her Other Love.
http://www.amazon.com/dp/B00XY19KTO
The freedom-loving Mario sets in motion a plan to overthrow the matriarchal government. The revolution he starts may cost him everything he cares about, including a life with the girl he loves.
The book is in the final stages of editing, and will probably be out well before the target release date.
