Summary
But the last day was what everyone was looking forward to. It was the day of the first calving. A day that would make a new generation. The day that the whole festival was about. The fight.

Summary
141 weren't supposed to take in a child. Not on a black-bag op. Not in a shattered outbuilding two hundred miles from anywhere safe.
But a little girl crawls out of the ruined village, terrified and alone-
And suddenly Soap is the one she gravitates to,
And Ghost is the one she listens for in the dark.Half soldiers, half guardians, accidental co-parenting... orbiting each other through her.
It's unspoken.
It's dangerous.
It's starting to crack.What follows is a slow unravelling. Of loyalty, of command, of the careful distance Ghost uses to keep himself alive. There are blacksites and broken bodies, rescues that come too late and confessions that come even later. There is anger sharp enough to wound, tenderness dangerous enough to stay. And beneath it all, the question neither of them knows how to answer:
What do you do when the person you love keeps choosing survival over being held?
A quiet, aching slow-burn about trust, control, and the terrifying act of letting someone lead you home.

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"
