I loved to draw and paint, throwing those spectacular colors across a blank canvas and turning it into something unique. Young, carefree, with the world in the palm of my hands. The options limitless.
My world ended the night the door creaked open. It was their first of many visits. Life as I knew it went blank. It became a survival game and counting my only solace to get through the pain.
It all became too much. I ran into the darkness of the night. That blank canvas long forgotten and uncomplete. The ways of the streets became my new home. Drugs and sex my new survival. Until one night, it all went too far.
I was happy to know the pain would finally end; welcomed being murdered in a lonely alley. All of the weight on my shoulders and vicious memories would be long forgotten once I took my final breath.
Life hates me, and I didn’t die. A second chance was handed to me, but what happens when I don’t want it?
This time, I have the chance to make my own art.
One person’s Blank Canvas is another’s Graffiti.

If you're wondering if when I finished reading The Hitchhiker did I jump right into this book. Then, yes! Yes, I did and I loved every page and every word of Blank Canvas.
When I read The Hitchhiker I was intrigued and wanted to know more about the sexy doctor who put his job on the line for Katch and Caitlin. I wanted to know what made him do what he does.
Amelia hasn't had the easiest life. She's seventeen and just about to graduate and head off to college. It should be the happiest time in her life. Except Amelia's barely holding on. She's a shell of the girl she use to be. At night she prays her bedroom door won't open and close with a lock. When it does she counts. It makes the time pass. When she can't take it she leaves and doesn't look back.
Years later Amelia is living in the dark, dirty alley. She'll do anything to get money for her next fix. She'll eat outta the dumpster and use the money for the other.
Amelia watches him. The beautiful man with the beautiful colorful watch on. Whose always got an equally beautiful woman on his arm as he enters the restaurant. Tonights no different except he's alone. She's hoping tonights the night her suffering will end. Unfortunately, its not before she is face to face with the devil himself. Just as its about to end, she's face to face with the beautiful man.
Zeke loves being a doctor. Things haven't been easy in Zeke's life. Him and his brother Saxon aka Brick to his MC club. They both lost somebody extremely close to them. When him and his brother met Curtis the President of his MC club, he knew his brother would be good. Those guys are part of Zeke's family and its why he puts everything on the line when one of them needs medical attention.
Every time Zeke goes to his favorite restaurant he can sense her there. Feel her eyes on him. Zeke knows he should go into that alley and offer her help. But, never does. That nights different though. When she's getting attacked he jumps into action and finds her foaming at the mouth and bloodied to a pulp barely clinging to life. It's her eyes he sees. As blue as a bluebird. Hs bluebird. It's then he promises to save her life ad get her away from this alley.
Amelia wakes up to the man with the beautiful watch. He is offering her a new life. Offering her a chance to get clean and get a fresh start. But, Amelia doesn't accept it at first for the right reasons.
When she meets Zoe who works where Amelia's getting help she makes her see things differently and brighter for the first time in her life. Zeke got her the best Dr. Dr Ronan whose showing Amelia how her life could be. Everyday she gets a little better.
Zeke is drawn to Amelia for a few reasons. He wants to get her help and save her. Maybe he needs to do it bc he couldn't save her. He won't loose Amelia either.
What starts as a slow building friendship, turns into something much more hot, passionate and real. Unlike either of them ever had. Zeke needs help getting his charity event to help women get the help the need set up he goes to Amelia. He needs help. She needs a job. Its a win-win for both of them.
Zeke and Amelia's story is beautiful. They're both fighting their inner demons. Zeke really is the perfect man. The way he fights to save every patient that ends up on his table. To the way he'll do anything for his brother and the MC. To the way he wanted to give Amelia aka his bluebird anything and everything was amazing. Lets talk about Amelia. She had a crap life. But, when she got the chance to live, man she took it. Even though she went all she went through she was definitely mature for her age and all she went through. She's beautiful and never once took anything given to her for granted.
Charlie Lee is killing it! The way they took on Amelia's story was perfect. This book was better then the first. I am beyond excited for the next book which belongs to Brick. I can't wait! I'm hoping its Brick and Zoe's story. Even though this is considered a standalone I'd recommend reading The Hitchhiker first. You'd get what they speak about in this book and it not be spoiled when you do read it. I was also already crushing on Dr Zeke before opening the book.
