The Name of Red
by Beena Khan
Genre: Contemporary Romance, Literary Fiction 

Picture
Two strangers on the same path.
Survivors. Companions.
They will be each other’s salvation. 

On a rainy, winter night, a mysterious woman in a red dress seeking shelter comes inside the restaurant Kabir was busy working in —primarily the bar— and night after night, drink after drink, she comes back to the same spot. That is where he sees her for the first time.

Hundreds of patrons around her try to speak with her daily, but she dismisses them. It appears she wants to remain in a blissful peace alone with her booze and books. After seeing the mysterious woman reading a book, and because of his shy nature, Kabir gains entrance into her life by anonymously leaving books with notes for her.

The Name of Red is the story of two strangers, two different personalities who meet on a winter, rainy night who challenge each other. They have a connection which blossoms into a friendship due to their fondness of books. But they both have secrets that can bind them together or threaten their newfound relationship forever.

This can be read as a standalone book.

​The restaurant Ferdaus was filled with a buzzing crowd.
The smoke around the people twisted and formed curls, illuminated under the bar lights. The atmosphere was a hazy cloud, lingering against their clothes. Several people came in seeking shelter from the pouring rain outside. The customers of the restaurant turned to look at the entrance door- bell jingling. They glanced at the large crowd coming as the glass door was pulled open, and they watched as someone newstepped in behind them.
The woman walked into the bar for the first time in the winter rain.
She didn’t have an umbrella on her; her little sleeveless dress ended at her ankles, fully drenched. Her wet dress clung to her body, showcasing the outlines of her curves. In one hand, she was carrying the skirt of her dress. Suddenly, she let it go, and her long, bare arms moved upwards as she tried to fix her damp hair which had darkened in intensity due to the rain. It fell past her shoulders, the strands sticking to her face. She attempted to comb through the tangles with her fingertips.
The men watched her movements hungrily, their eager faces drawn to her and at the sight of someone new. Their eyes trailed from her face, to her wet body, then back to the movements of her hands entwined in her hair. Under her arm, she carried a book and a trench coat. It appeared strange she wasn't wearing the coat when it was pouring outside and freezing in the middle of November. Men were left mesmerized by her, and she turned heads as she walked by. Something radiated from within her, drawing the men around her in.
The women who were with some of these men noticed their gaze on the unfamiliar woman. Now they stared at her with jealousy and anger.
Who is she? they wondered.

What inspired you to write this book?
I had a dissociation once due to my illness. The book is inspired by a fantasy that I had during a short period of time.

What can we expect from you in the future?
The duet novel of The Name of Red is releasing on July 15, 2020. It’s called The Weight on Skin, and it’s on pre-order.

Do you have any “side stories” about the characters?
All of the characters in my book will get their own book in the series.

Can you tell us a little bit about the characters in The Name of Red?
The main character of the story is Kabir. He’s a humble, shy, reserved, and submissive man. He meets a woman who goes by the name Red. She is funny, bold, and more dominating. The bartender is Aryan who is Kabir’s close friend. There is also Nadia and Samar, the twins who are also part of his squad. This is not an erotica novel, it’s a novel about trauma and learning to heal from it.

How did you come up with the title of your first novel?
I didn’t have a name for the heroine until halfway through the story, that’s where the title comes in, The Name of Red.

Who designed your book covers?
Her name is Les. She’s a German book cover artist. She is amazing!

Are your characters based on real people or did they all come entirely from your imagination?
The hero is based on my husband. The heroine is based on me.

Have you written any other books that are not published?
I’m currently working on a fictional project about an elite academy besides this series. It’s currently a work in progress.
