This e-book is a re-issue of the 2007 paperback edition, with a new introduction by the author. Amidst the haze of an aimless college life, a young student from Shillong meets the mercurial Naina at a party near Delhi University campus. His spontaneous act of chivalry against Naina's violent ex-lover sparks off intimacy between him and this enigmatic girl-about-town. But a hot, fleeting affair with her leaves him sceptical about love and its elusive promises. Yet, Naina's hidden past becomes a phantom that refuses to blur out of his memory long after she's gone. A chance encounter with her and her Afghan cocaine-dealer friend two years later brings Naina back into his life with all her mystery and caprice intact. Tracing the circuit of desire, drugs, violence, and greed that exists at the fringes of Delhi, Jet City Woman casts light on lives that have so far been peripheral to the grand narrative of this city---students from Northeast India, Tibetan and Afghan refugees, Anglo-Indians. The dotcom boom and its eventual bust are juxtaposed with the pipe dream the BPO industry is peddling in India. Spanning five years, and alternating between Northeast India and New Delhi, this is a story of love and loss, of lives adrift in a mega city, and of the lesser-known side of urban India. Diffused with subtle humour and sharp insights, it is a tale set in an ancient city where chimaeras are chased and lives are invented anew. Ankush Saikia was born in Tezpur, Assam in 1975, and grew up in Madison, Wisconsin; Assam; and Shillong, Meghalaya. He has worked in journalism and publishing in New Delhi, and is the author of several books, including The Girl from Nongrim Hills, The Forest Beneath the Mountains, and the Detective Arjun Arora series.

This is the complete Jet City Kilt series, all four books: Almost Jamie, Almost Elinor, Simply Blair, and Simply Austin. No cliffhangers! Just lots of romance, laughs, kilts, cosplay, and adventure. If that’s your thing… Blair Edwards sometimes feels like she was born in the wrong century and country. She’s always wanted her Jamie, the Sinclair, the dashing Scottish Highland laird of the wildly popular historical TV series, Jamie. Unfortunately, it's so hard to find a man with Jamie’s sense of romance and adventure in the modern world. When the stars of Jamie come to Seattle's Jet City Comicon, Blair attends, dressed in costume in a vibrant red historical gown, hoping to get a glimpse of the handsome, charming star of the show. She doesn't expect to be called on to use her medical skills to treat an injured cosplayer who could be his double. Or that the double will set her heart racing out of control… Cosplayer, geek, app designer, and cyber security expert Austin MacDougall has been trying to win the prize for best amateur cosplayer for years. Against the advice of his friends, he attends Jet City Comicon costumed as Jamie in complete Highland gear, including a kilt. Why not? He has the legs for it. When he's injured during a mock battle with a vicious cosplaying orc, a beautiful cosplaying doctor in a stunning red dress comes to his aid. She might just be the healing touch his lonely heart needs. Or maybe she’ll completely break it...
