Torn Canvas - Safe Harbors, #2

**Winner of the prestigious RONE Award for best New Adult fiction** When the spotlight meets the shadows, can love illuminate the way? Jori Virtanen learned the devastating power of beauty and betrayal at fifteen, shattering his family and turning him into a reckless playboy model. When his world is attacked again, this time by modern-day pirates, he's thrust into a life-altering odyssey of recovery and soul-searching.
As he seeks sanctuary and a new identity as an artist, he grapples with guilt, isolation, and the deep emotional scars that go far beyond his physical disfigurement. Enter Olivia Howard, an ethically driven talk-show host. She's put off by Jori's bad-boy reputation but intrigued after hearing about a little-known act of heroism, especially when she finds he has just survived a horrific pirate attack.
When he retreats from the public eye, Olivia's quest to understand the man behind the scar intensifies. Can she help a man-who once reveled in his physical beauty while hiding an inner beast-find love and the beauty within his soul? Or will he remain trapped in the scars of his past? Books in the Safe Harbors Series A Change of Plans (#1) Torn Canvas (#2) Swing Vote (#3) The Widow and the Professor (#4) Kings Crossed Lovers (#5)
