Hari Begum had barely begun to live when his own parents had sold him to work in the human mines. Betrayed by the people who he was supposed to have trusted, when he was finally freed forty years later, the only thing Hari wanted was to be left alone so no one could ever hurt him again. Rus Kartal was known for always having a plan, as well as several back up plans, to get him in and out of a place safely. It was why he'd been hired by tech guru Yosi to protect him and Salvation Island. When he met his mate, who didn't even know what mates were, plans became a thing of the past when he had to adapt each encounter to what Hari needed instead of what he'd imagined would happen when finally meeting the one meant for him. Will Hari be able to trust his own mate when he didn't even understand what that meant? When the humans attack the island, Rus sets out to prove he not only will protect Hari at all costs, but his mate can trust him. But will Rus be able to show Hari he is Worth Saving?
