Summary
Simon Riley, known as “The Ghost of Manchester,” has spent fifteen years as the most feared hitman in Britain’s underworld, until one last job grants him a chance at a new life. He escapes to Wynndale, a picture-perfect Yorkshire village decked in Christmas cheer, determined to live in the shadows and forget his violent past. Which proves impossible when Johnny MacTavish, a cheerful ex-soldier turned coffee shop owner of The Sneaky Kilt, and relentless spreader of holiday spirit, crashes through Simon’s defenses like nothing he's ever experienced before.
As Wynndale celebrates the season, Simon is drawn into Johnny’s world of found family, sparkly kilts, the true joy that comes with Christmas, and after-hours decorating. Before long, he finds his dark grey world slowly transformed into golds, greens, and reds, though none as vibrant as the blue eyes of Johnny.
However, when Simon discovers Johnny's in danger from more than just the local thugs threatening his coffee shop, Simon must confront the darkness he can’t outrun, a lifetime of cold and calculation, and what it truly means to love and live with another.
Or as I like to call it: "Hallmark Presents : A Hitman For Christmas"

Summary
Captain Carol Freeman’s first mission since her promotion out of the California class is to track down her missing security officer and deliver a cell's worth of well-known Maquis renegades to the Federation. Instead, she finds herself on the wrong side of the galaxy with a mismatched crew that includes an untrustworthy (and distrustful) new commander, an engineer with a malfunctioning implant, an eager-to-please ensign, and a convicted criminal who happens to also be her own daughter. Seventy thousand lightyears away from everything they’ve ever known, Captain Freeman and her new crew must learn to work together to find home.

Summary
Stiles is the engine that runs Doughboy, the chaotic little bakery he built from his late mother’s treasured recipes, but the stress of keeping her memory alive, 16-hour days, 6 days a week, has started to take its toll. To make matters worse, when the town's Chamber of Commerce pressures him into a cooking competition for their latest viral marketing stunt, he’s partnered with the last person he’d ever choose. Derek Hale, the world-traveled trust-fund baby and brooding Gordan Ramsey wannabe.
Derek, a professional chef who's still struggling with the recent passing of his sister, is the last living Hale to uphold a world-class culinary legacy. While returning to Beacon Hills, his childhood hometown, he opens his flagship restaurant, Hales, as an honor to the memory of his late family. But now he's stuck with Stiles Stilinski, the hot mess from the Doughboy bakery, who's stuck in the past and refuses to join the present, as a partner in a viral cooking competition that could make or break his new restaurant's success.
Sparks fly as flour meets foie gras, and their rivalry in the culinary scene threatens to ignite into something far messier, and far more irresistible, than either expected.

Summary
When Lucifer stabbed Cas the day Jack was born, Dean's hail-mary to save his best friend had unintended consequences. The aftereffects leave Dean reeling as he realizes the life he knew was over. Being forced to slowly rebuild on an unexpected path and trying to be a normal human with a fallen angel and the newborn he didn't want has been rough but it may just be the very thing he was looking for.
Sam thought he knew what was happening in Dean’s life pretty well. They talk regularly but when he visits the house that Dean, Cas, and now toddler Jack have been living in for over two years, Sam wonders if things are what he thought during his week long vacation with Eileen. Sam thought it was just two best friends raising a kid but now...
Maybe these two brothers can discover what happiness for the older Winchester brother and Heaven's most rebellious angel is through the highs and lows of this new, ordinary life. Hopefully, they all figure it out together through small deeds and acts of kindness and love.
