Beau-laid

     Logan Lepozod was born into a cruel and cold existence, void of love and human connection, but his brilliant talent as a painter, and a tragically ironic life event would lead him to an epiphany of self-realization, transcendence, and true love. 

     Tess is a beautiful, quick-witted, calamity magnet, on the run from an abusive and sinister ex-boyfriend.  Tess crash-lands into Logan's life, forever changing it - and him. An unlikely love blooms between the two wayward souls amidst the milieu of a candid and unflinching journey that changes them both profoundly.

     Logan and Tess have complicated and thorny pasts that demand reconciliation before they can move on, and into each other's hearts. However, with the grand thrill of burgeoning love, comes the painful stab of growth and risk, as the two are plunged into a life adventure filled with laughter, love, friendship, passion, and danger. 

     Balance is the ultimate power in the universe, and unless Logan and Tess can find theirs, the flowering love between them may only be the first of many casualties.  

     There is no light without shadow, no reward without risk, and no beauty without ugliness.

Beau-Laid: French term, a person who is beautiful because of their flaws.
