“So I can what? Move on?” He barks a humorless laugh. “Tha’s rich comin’ from you. As if ye’d do it if ye were me?”
“Johnny—“
“No, fuck this. You aren’t the only one with nothin’ else to live for. I did what I’m good for—I deserved to die from tha’ fuckin’ bullet. It’s not my responsibility to fix ma whole life jus’ because I didn’t.”
***

Summary
It was a dream, John flying out to London to meet with the team, Price explaining that he would get his in-house editors working on the project, that revisions and such usually took a few months. But everything was handled for him, the cover artist, the designs for the physical book itself, social media promotions. Everything.
And John didn’t even have words for how excited he was.
He glances at the name of the editor one more time, brows furrowed as he tries to remember who the fuck Ghost is. He met a ton of people at the office the other day, John Price welcoming him with open arms before introducing him to his team, a small group, and yet John knows he would remember the name of this person.
Seeing as it really wasn’t a name at all.

Summary
Ghost is many things: an enigma who likes to keep people guessing, a force to be reckoned with in the field, and a massive sugar addict.
But, by no means is the omega sweet.
Innocently getting breakfast one unassuming morning, Soap is blindsided by his stoic lieutenant getting in his personal space, practically clinging to him. Soap plays it off as a fluke, until Ghost keeps pestering him. Sure, it's far out of character, but Soap thinks he's just reading into things too much.
When he finds out that Ghost is going into heat, Soap gets to witness just how sweet Ghost really is.

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"
