Until her world collides with Jackson Palmer. Mr Perfect with his easy life and bright future. Or so people think. Set on reviving Danielle, Jackson creates a once in a life time bucket list made up from everything daring that Danielle's characters have done in the stories she's written. "Stop writing about the life you want to live and start living it." But can Jackson bring this stillborn back to life before it's too late? *** "This story is not getting a happy ending, Jackson Palmer." "Well, Dani, at least we'll have quite the adventure before all that."
