Hittman uses Mack’s own words to retell his story, an uncompromising account of a traumatized life that typified his generation, yet nonetheless made meaningful through the perseverance of Paiute cultural traditions.

Book excerpt: Graeme Nass—also known as Horse—is happy with where he stands in life. As Enforcer for the Freed Riders MC based out of Texas, his position demands respect from members and outsiders alike, enabling him to hold firm against all comers. The work is rewarding in its own way, and he gives back to the club with everything inside him. For a long time, the only thing missing from his life is a woman willing to put up with the business that comes with being smackdab in the center of all club business. He’d about given up on the idea until he met Glenna; a tiny, feisty whirlwind of a woman who blew into his life and turned everything upside down with her quick humor and biting wit. Pair those smarts with the looks on the woman, and what man alive would pass up on a piece of that? Horse has taken the bait: hook, line, and sinker, but the joke’s on her because what they’re about to go through will tie her to him just as tightly. Glenna lost the love of her life to a cruel disease and had withdrawn into herself, shunning friends while she holes up on her small ranch. She never expected to have a second chance at love, but the instant she’d seen Horse, bleeding and dazed on the side of the road, something in him called to her. Patching him up seemed the least she could do, and then he wedged his way into her life and heart in surprising ways. She’s not one to back away from a fight, and the danger swirling around them both brings many things into clear focus. She cares what happens to him. Club enemies come calling, driven by greed and rage over past run-ins. Horse hadn’t expected the woman to stand at his side through it all. Hadn’t expected how it felt to have a woman of her caliber at his back. Then, the way it was to have a woman so brilliant, so cherished, so precious—underneath him in her bed. Horse knows he can’t go back to the way it was. Now he just has to convince her.
