Book Title (Fiction)
In this gripping and somewhat controversial novel, the narrative follows the story of U.S. President Matthew Underwood, a former TV anchor with a passion for boxing rather than politics. His world is turned upside down when he meets Noy Sang, the young and seductive president of Lampang, a small East Asian island nation.

The plot quickly evolves from political dealings to personal intrigue as Underwood finds himself inexplicably drawn to Noy. The intrigue deepens when Noy's sister is poisoned, clearly orchestrated by a political rival, General Samak Nakorn. The stakes are raised further as Underwood’s affection for Noy leads him to take drastic action to rescue her, including flying to Lampang and solving the mystery of her kidnapping.

Despite a tangled web of jealousy, politics, and a brewing romance, the novel ultimately delivers an explosive conclusion filled with personal triumphs and betrayals. While the novel is punctuated with moments of unexpected humor and graphic descriptions, it challenges readers with its bold plot twists and complex relationships, making it a standout work of fiction.

The translation by Leena Sohoni ensures the story retains its emotional resonance, bringing the nuances of the characters' struggles and triumphs to Marathi-speaking audiences.
