    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

    Johnny never expected a delivery route to change his life, but one rainy doorstep leads him to Simon, a quiet mechanic with a guarded past, and Eli, his kid who barely speaks but watches Johnny like he’s stepped straight out of his favorite cartoon.

    Johnny learns he looks a lot like Captain Blaze, Eli’s superhero obsession, and somehow, that’s enough to earn him a place at their table. Simon’s trying to hold everything together. Johnny’s not sure where he belongs. But maybe, just maybe, they’re exactly what each other needs.

    Summary

    Eijiro thought he had felt his heart beat before, thought he knew how it was to have a crush and be “in love” with a boy. He came into UA with that in mind, moving on from the heartbreak that was a failed middle school crush. Trying to move on from the fear that he’d never be who he wanted to be.

    He sat down at his desk at UA with a smile, hoping to hide who he was. Who he still is. Thinking that maybe, with this new determination, he’d get to where he wanted to be. That he’d be up to par and maybe prove himself to everyone who thought he wasn’t worthy.

    --OR--

    After a recent heartbreak, Eijiro goes to UA and finds someone who makes him feel loved.

    Summary

    In Night City, blood and cybernetics are the only things that buy you a tomorrow.
    Simon Riley wasn't supposed to care anymore, a Militech bastard with steel will, but when Soap disappears, sold off into the underground as nothing more than a Doll, and Gaz becomes marked for the same rotten fate, Ghost does the only thing he knows how to do.
    He turns himself into a walking nightmare. He'll burn the streets down to keep them safe, rip open cyberpsychoes with his bare hands, and carve a name for himself in the backstreets until even mercenaries like Phillip Graves start looking over their shoulder when they hear his name.

    Cyberpsychosis grows closer every day, with every upgrade, every kill, every job he takes to get the money he needs to keep his boys safe, but he won't stop until he has John Price's throat in the palm of his fucking hand.

    Summary

    When an assassin's blade reveals the truth within the royal court, the pieces on John Price's chess board must be moved quickly and quietly.
    All the while, Ghost battles with the divinity of human spirit, torn between the death that betrays him, the blood marred into his hands, and the undying love he harbours for a prince who sees him not as the beast... But as a man.

    (Basically, the knight x prince troupe but smashed head first into a Game of Thrones level kind of court drama, political nightmare, and secrecy... Lots of secrecy).
