Diallo Lovett had his world turned upside when a man he’d believed was his mate not only lied to him, but kidnapped Diallo to torture him. After years of abuse, Diallo was rescued, only to find the real torture was just beginning because now he had to find a way to put his life back together.

An explosion took Dugan Nash’s leg but not his determination to make those responsible pay. With a lot of sweat and tears he finally was able to walk with the help of a prosthesis.

The moment Diallo meets Dugan, he knows he was fooled all those years ago. Dugan is his real mate. The events of his past make Diallo too leery to trust in the one man meant to be his. Dugan knows of Diallo’s past but is determined to find a way to break down the walls Diallo has erected and heal the scars that surround his heart.
