They run the most dangerous private security firm in the country.
They’ve protected hundreds of women from their worst nightmares.
But nothing prepared them for… Christmas with four kids.

Ten years ago, Lila ran from a monster and straight into the arms of three deadly men who burned her past to ash and gave her a future. Now she’s their wife, mother to their four children, and the calm eye in the hurricane of their Manhattan brownstone.

By day, Bastian, Ethan, and Ryker run Wicked Sanctuary—the elite security firm that operates in the gray areas where angels fear to tread. They protect the vulnerable, eliminate threats, and solve problems that don’t officially exist. By night, they’re playing princess tea party, helping with homework, and arguing about whose turn it is to check for monsters under the bed.

When a threat from one of their cases follows them home right before Christmas, the men handle it the way they always do—quickly, quietly, and permanently. But that’s the easy part. The real challenge? They’re now locked in a different kind of warfare: competitive Christmas decorating. Each one is determined to give their family the perfect holiday—whether that means Bastian leveraging his CEO powers for professional decorators, Ethan hacking the city’s electrical grid, or Ryker using his “action specialist” skills to acquire a real reindeer.

Between client protection details and school pageants, board meetings and bedtime stories, these three men who make dangerous people disappear are about to learn that wrangling four excited kids on Christmas morning is scarier than any mission they’ve ever run.

But Lila knows what their children really want can’t be bought, hacked, or tactically acquired. As Wicked Sanctuary’s phones ring with desperate calls for help, she’ll remind her men that sometimes the most important people to protect are the ones sleeping down the hall.

This Christmas, the only thing getting decked are the halls… and anyone stupid enough to threaten their family.

A spicy, heartwarming holiday novella featuring established characters, three dangerously devoted dads juggling deadly work with domestic life, one badass mom who holds them all together, and proof that even the most wicked men can be someone’s sanctuary.
