**Winner of the prestigious RONE Award for best New Adult fiction**

He's no girl's happily ever after. Yet

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?
