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
Soap doesn’t even like reading.
But apparently he does like emotionally tortured war poetry disguised as fanfiction that accidentally reveals his deepest fears and unspoken desires...
So that’s new.

Summary
Most people run away when they see a man that shoots lasers from his eyes try to rob a bank. They rather not be cut up like half the place is.
But Soap isn't most people. He's a journalist, and his job is to document exactly what's wrong with this city, even if it endangers him.
Well… It's not his job yet. As it stands right now, his actual job involves editing the lifestyle section of a local newspaper firm, "Manchester Mail", which… Does not entail running straight into an ongoing crime scene, but he digresses.
------

Summary
“You’re excited?”
Rubbing his eye, he looked over his shoulder back to Kyle. The man sat on their small table, playing with his teaspoon. “What for?” Ghost asked, finally grabbing his black mug.
“New sergeant’s comin’ today.”
“What new sergeant?”~
"Supernatural beings were always assets on the battlefield, until they weren't. Ghost grew up with stories about mages and shifters, great battles, crumbling kingdoms, and defeated enemy armies. He himself became one of the most skilled and feared soldiers, a living nightmare. His name alone was enough to make enemy forces flee. But a life like that was destined to be lived alone. Or so he thought."

Summary
Ghost lifts his hand and grabs Soap by the back of the neck. The omega wants to push him away because he's an alpha touching his neck. Ghost squeezes his fingers around his mating gland and over his collar, just an open area that will have Soap docile.
The omega's grip on Ghost's wrist slackens. He feels his eyelids become heavy, all the anger he had towards the alpha vanishes. His mind is open without emotions overwhelming him. He feels calm, when he looks at Ghost the alpha is still glaring at Soap.
"Ye fuckin' cunt," Soap slurs, his tongue is lax in his mouth, his limbs like jelly.
Ghost had scruffed him.
or Soap joins Task Force 141, it changes his entire life. He gets a pack, maybe learns a bit about himself, falls in love and tries to stop a sinister plot along the way
