  Some secrets are meant to stay buried. But love has a way of digging them up. 
   
  EMT Matthew McCabe has seen it all—heart attacks in moving ambulances, overdoses in alleyways, even the occasional gunshot wound. But nothing prepares him for the man pulled from a wrecked car with no ID, a bullet in his side, and a story he won't tell. 
   
  By the time Matthew goes looking for answers, the stranger has vanished. 
   
  Until he shows up again at Matthew's door—bleeding, hunted, and very much alive. 
   
  Dorian Wallace was supposed to be dead. It was cleaner that way. But when a mission goes sideways and the body count won't stop growing, he turns to the EMT who once saved his life. Matthew should report him. Instead, something in Dorian's haunted eyes pulls him deeper—into danger, into secrets, and into a connection neither expected. 
   
  As coded messages and buried files resurface, Matthew and Dorian are caught in a deadly game where the past refuses to stay hidden. And the closer they get to the truth, the harder it becomes to let go of each other. 
   
  Contains mature themes.

  Making Love with the Land - Essays

  Joshua Whitehead

  A moving and deeply personal excavation of Indigenous beauty and passion in a suffering world 
   
   
   
  In prose that is evocative and sensual, unabashedly queer and visceral, raw and autobiographical, Joshua Whitehead writes of an Indigenous body in pain, coping with trauma. Deeply rooted within, he reaches across the anguish to create a new form of storytelling he calls "biostory"—beyond genre, and entirely sovereign. Through this narrative perspective, Making Love with the Land recasts mental health struggles and our complex emotional landscapes from a nefarious parasite on his (and our) well-being to kin, even a relation, no matter what difficulties they present to us. Whitehead ruminates on loss and pain without shame or ridicule but rather highlights waypoints for personal transformation. Written in the aftermath of heartbreak, before and during the pandemic, Making Love with the Land illuminates this present moment in which both Indigenous and non-Indigenous people are rediscovering old ways and creating new ones about connection with and responsibility toward each other and the land. 
   
   
   
  Intellectually audacious and emotionally compelling, Whitehead shares his devotion to the world in which we live and brilliantly—even joyfully—maps his experience on the land that has shaped stories, histories, and bodies from time immemorial.
