  Cast out and facing ruthless persecution, Calvin witnesses an act of shocking state-sanctioned violence that shatters his apathy.

  My first love let them destroy my leg to save his scholarship. Guess who's his boss now? 
   
  Matt Harrison was my everything in college—my first love, my secret, my future. Until jealous teammates sabotaged me on the field, ending my career, and Matt chose to stay silent. He was so deep in the closet he couldn't see daylight. Too scared that being gay would destroy everything he'd built to escape his deadbeat father and toxic childhood. I was nineteen, heartbroken, and convinced love was a lie. 
   
  Now I'm twenty-seven, rich as hell, and the new owner of the Cincinnati Crusaders. Matt's team. He's still the golden boy with his perfect fake girlfriend, still hiding behind the same lies that cost us everything. Still so terrified of the truth that he'd rather live a lie. 
   
  Every team meeting, I watch him squirm. Every practice, I remind him who signs his paychecks. Every time he looks at me with those desperate eyes, begging for forgiveness, I remember what it felt like to be sacrificed for his fear. He could have warned me about the sabotage. Could have chosen love over image. Instead, he let them destroy me. 
   
  The problem? Eight years later, I still want him. And Matt? He's making it clear that underneath all that fear, he never stopped wanting me either. But this time, if he wants me, he'll have to choose me. Publicly. Completely. No more hiding. Revenge was supposed to be simple. Making him face the truth might be even better. 
   
  Contains mature themes.

  For decades, a dark force has terrorized the Languille Lake reservation. Only spoken of in whispers as "the sandman," he lurks in the Hidden Atlantis Lake Resort and Casino, the reservation's main attraction and source of revenue, leeching its patrons' dreams and ambitions and also preventing the ghosts that linger there from moving on. Fleeing a breakup, Marion Lafournier, a mid-twenties Ojibwe, seeks solace in the slot machine's siren song. Here he falls afoul of the sandman, an encounter Marion barely escapes through the timely intervention of his cousins Alana and Cherie, who both work at the casino and are intimately aware of the sandman's power. 
   
   
   
  Marion and Alana are members of the Bullhead clan, a family with ties to a sacred past and a fierce determination to ensure their future. Alana, with her seven-fire sight, is the only person to fully grasp the danger the sandman poses. Aware of Marion's occasional ability to navigate the spirit world, she enlists his aid in defeating this wraith. But the power and reach of the sandman go far beyond Alana's worst fears. Soon she and Marion find themselves in a battle for their lives and for the souls of the reservation's residents, both the living and the dead.
