After being rescued from an abandoned barn by Negan, Reagan Stone finds herself living at the Sanctuary, trying to rebuild a life she never expected to have. Small, sweet, and stubbornly kind despite everything she’s survived, Reagan quickly becomes a bright spot in a world that has forgotten how to be gentle. While the other wives resent her place at Negan’s side, Reagan never asks for power or special treatment. She simply loves him. And somewhere between late-night conversations, quiet acts of devotion, and surviving the apocalypse together, Negan finds himself loving her right back. As jealousy grows within the Sanctuary and old wounds refuse to stay buried, Reagan and Negan must navigate a complicated relationship built on loyalty, protection, and a bond neither of them saw coming. In a world ruled by fear and violence, they become each other’s safe place—and everyone around them knows it. A story about healing, devotion, jealous wives, possessive love, and finding something worth fighting for at the end of the world.
Everyone at Oakwood Elementary knows Miss Lena. She’s the teacher every child adores, every parent trusts, and every coworker loves. Everyone also knows Negan Smith. Loud. Tattooed. Sarcastic. The intimidating single dad who somehow never misses a school pickup. The only people who don’t realize they’re falling in love… Are Negan and Lena. Luckily, Negan’s seven-year-old daughter has already decided they’re meant to be.
Lena Moore has a habit of making headlines for all the wrong reasons. Too many parties. Too many drinks. Too many nights ending with frantic phone calls that leave her father wondering if she’ll make it home safely. His solution? Hire the best bodyguard money can buy. Negan Smith is forty, intimidating as hell, and built like he could take down an army with his bare hands. He’s professional, disciplined, and has one job: keep Lena alive—even if she makes that job impossible. She thinks he’s overbearing. He thinks she’s a walking disaster. Between glamorous events, crowded clubs, cross-country business trips, and one stubborn millionaire’s daughter who refuses to follow a single security rule, the two are constantly at each other’s throats. But when someone starts watching Lena from the shadows, their constant bickering gives way to something neither of them expected. Because protecting her was supposed to be temporary. Falling for her was never part of the assignment.
