BOSS: Breaking Point
A Blackstone Tactical Christmas Novella
Five million dollars.
One terrified boy.
And a woman who refuses to break.
Phoebe Shaw thought she’d finally built a quiet life after escaping her violent ex. A steady job. A roof over her son’s head. Stability—for once. Until the money vanished. Until the alarms screamed. Until the police came for her.
Framed. Hunted. Desperate.
Her only chance at survival rests with Maddox “Boss” Cross, the stoic commander of Blackstone Tactical. Equal parts discipline and danger, he’s a man who doesn’t believe in coincidences—or Christmas miracles.
When eleven-year-old Bodie Shaw shows up begging for help, Boss tries to walk away. Their problems aren’t his to solve. But something in the boy’s eyes—and the story he tells—cuts through Boss’s walls in a way nothing else has.
Helping them means risking the quiet control he’s built his life around. Protecting them means going to war with whoever set Phoebe up.
As the snow falls and enemies close in, old ghosts resurface, new truths ignite, and every heartbeat drags them closer to the breaking point— where trust becomes a weapon, love could be a liability, and one wrong move could cost them everything.

About the author
Chrislyn Alexander
8 books72 followersChrislyn Alexander never planned to be an author—she just loved to read. Writing was something other people did… until she did it. Now she’s hooked. A military brat with a soft spot for order, chaos, and men in tactical gear, she writes the kinds of stories she loves to read—gritty, emotional, and full of heart.
Originally from the East Coast, Chrislyn moved to Colorado to attend the University of Colorado Boulder, where she earned her degree in French before heading off to France for eight unforgettable years teaching English (and perfecting her pastry game). When she’s not writing, she’s probably organizing something, crafting with wood flowers and vinyl, wrangling her two spoiled fur babies, or adding yet another book to the thousand already loaded on her e-reader.
