    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

    “You had a nightmare, and you told me the same thing. You said I died, Gaz died, you died. I thought that was just it; it was your nightmare, but…”

    “D’ye think I’m crazy?” John forced his eyes back open, looking at Simon.

    “Should I?”

    “It wasn’t a dream.”

    ---------------

    John "Soap" MacTavish died in 2017 when Makarov learned of his and Price's plan. Unless, maybe he didn't die. What if he wakes up in a new world, 2022, still himself, but a different version?

    Summary

    If anyone bothered to ask Ghost who he was, he figured he'd just stare at them for a moment, and say three simple words.

     

    "A stray dog."

     

    He didn't mean to bite. Didn't mean to bare his teeth or snap at every outstretched hand.

    It wasn't in his nature—not really.

    He didn't want to be like this.

    He just didn't know how to be anything else.

    — # —

    "Jesus fucking Christ, MacTavish," Ghost snapped, his voice cutting through Soap like a bullet through bone, making mincemeat of his heart as it dropped clear to his feet. "Shut the fuck up."

    — # —

    In the wake of Hassan's death and stolen moments in Las Almas, Soap can't seem to quiet his mind—and Ghost won't let himself rest. Haunted by guilt and convinced he's the problem, Ghost starts doing what he does best: pushing people away before they can see the mess he really is.

    If he's alone, maybe Soap will be safe.

    But Johnny MacTavish has never been good at backing down.

    Summary

    They say that once the sun sets on the village of Keldbrook Cross, something will whisper your name out in the forest. They say that if you get caught out at sunset, strange shapes will peer out at you from between the trees, stalking closer as the night grows darker. They say that if you walk the village streets at night, a tall black figure only known as the Keldbrook Ghost will walk with you.

    Paranormal investigator and content creator Soap MacTavish heads to a small village in the English countryside with nothing but a rumor and a love of adventure to guide him. From the start, there's something different about this ghost hunt, and something different about the skull-faced creature that watches him from the shadows.
