Darien Martin & Ty Wood in V.C. Andrews' Pearl in the Mist (2021)

The second installment in Lifetime's new original series of V.C. Andrews films was Pearl in the Mist. It found leading lady Ruby being sent off to a boarding school with her twin sister Giselle, continuing their rivalry. It also continued Ruby's romance with Beau (played by Ty Wood), though they were separated by her new circumstances. Ty was shirtless for a love scene when Beau paid Ruby a visit. There was also a shirtless scene for Darien Martin who played Buck, a groundskeeper for the boarding school who crosses paths with Ruby on multiple occasions, providing a scandalous opportunity for Ruby's tormentor to strike again. Buck was shirtless while chopping wood, drawing Ruby's attention while she painted in the distance.
