  A heartbreaking tale of a family and an impossible love, torn apart by secrets and traditions in late-twentieth-century Cairo.
  		 
  In a tight-knit Levantine Christian family in 1960s Cairo, Tarek’s entire life is written in advance. He’ll be a doctor like his father, marry, and have children. Under the watchful eye of the family’s strong women, he starts to do just that – until a patient’s son, Ali, enters his life and turns it upside down. The two men’s unsayable relationship sparks a series of events as dramatic as the Six-Day War and assassination of President Anwar Sadat playing out in the background.
  		 
  The turn of the millennium finds Tarek living as a doctor in Montreal. Someone is writing about him and to him, piecing together a past he wants only to forget. But who is the writer of this tale? And will Tarek figure it out in time?
  		 
  From Cairo’s grand boulevards and hidden alleys to Montreal’s grim winter, from the reign of Nasser to the early 2000s, What I Know About You tells the heartbreaking story of a family torn apart by an epic love.
  		 
  “This novel is a searing love story that moves between Egypt and Montréal, that shifts between hearts, highlighting the sacrifices the characters feel they have to make for the ones they love. Romantic, surprising, mesmerizing, and so devastating, What I Know About You examines the terrible costs of family secrets and toxic shame.” – Suzette Mayr, author of The Sleeping Car Porter
  		 
  A bestseller in its original Quebec edition, and the recipient of several awards, including the Prix Femina, What I Know About You is poised to be an international sensation.

  An identity that spans the globe.In this astonishing memoir, Graci Harkema revisits her experience growing up as an adoptee from the Congo in Grand Rapids, Michigan. She traces her path to claiming and living her own story, becoming a successful consultant on diversity, equity and inclusion, racial justice, LGBTQ+ equality, and women in business.Born amid civil unrest in a mud hut in the Congo and weighing a mere three pounds, Harkema was left at an orphanage, where she was not expected to live another day. But that afternoon, a visiting American missionary saw her sleeping in a doll’s bed and heard a voice inside her say, “This is your daughter.”Her childhood was spent wishing to be lighter and blonder, like her siblings and classmates. Out of fear of standing out even more from her peers, Harkema kept her sexuality a secret, only coming out of the closet years later—during a job interview! Eventually, she learned to see her identity as her superpower, instead of her shame.Today, Harkema helps embrace diversity and drive inclusion to ensure open and safe work environments. She is committed to empowering employees to perform to their potential as their authentic selves—setting an example as she continues to live her own story, journeying to meet her birth mother, to discover one more piece of herself.

  JOSIAH 
  I don’t do messy. I don’t do vulnerable. And I definitely don’t do clients with pretty mouths, too much money, and nowhere safe to run. But one runaway billionaire with a target on his back? That’s exactly the kind of trouble that follows me home. 
   
  Josiah likes control: his job, his quiet apartment, his hard-won distance. A former protector with scars he doesn’t discuss, he’s agreed to one last favor—keep an eye on a reclusive tech heir who’s suddenly bolted from his heavily guarded life. It should be simple. Watch him. Contain the risk. Keep things professional. Then one look at the sharp-tongued runaway with haunted eyes and zero survival skills turns this bodyguard romance into something far more dangerous. 
   
  ERIC 
  I’m done hiding. Done letting fear, family expectations, and the press decide who I get to be. So I do the only reckless thing I’ve never let myself do: I run. One bad diagnosis and a lifetime of being the invisible billionaire’s brother shove me straight into the night, chasing freedom, firsts, and maybe one unforgettable man. But the world outside my gilded cage isn’t safe, and the rough, watchful stranger sent to track me down is far too tempting to ignore. Especially when every glance crackles with forbidden attraction, every argument feels like foreplay, and every step closer threatens secrets neither of us can afford to expose. 
   
  In this steamy contemporary M/M romance packed with a billionaire recluse, a protective alpha hero, sharp humor, and explosive chemistry, can Eric risk trusting the one man who can catch him before running turns into losing everything?
