Better Lucky Than Dead | Daryl Dixon

Callie Ann Jane knew the taste of fine wine and the silence of a well-appointed home. Her life was a tapestry woven with threads of comfortable routine and quiet luxury, a world she assumed was permanent.

Then, the world shattered.

In the chaos that followed, Callie Ann discovered a strange, persistent truth, she was a magnet for protection. Again and again, luck found her in the form of others, hands reaching out of the darkness to pull her through. But relying on borrowed strength is no longer enough. Now, she must step out of the shadow of others' fortune and finally forge her own. It is time for her to unearth a hidden resilience and, perhaps, learn how to trust and truly live again.

Her path crosses with Daryl Dixon, a lone wolf whose life has been anything but quiet. On the surface, they are opposites. The velvet glove and the hardened fist. Yet, as the lines of survival blur, they begin to see how much more alike they are than anyone especially themselves could have ever imagined. Two souls, scarred by loss and bound by necessity, leaning on each other against an unforgiving world.

In a life where home is a memory and safety is a myth, they might just discover it is possible to find it again, in each other's arms.
