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.

Re: Male protagonist in a world ruled by women
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.
