The pair plan a quiet, intimate ceremony, to be witnessed by family and close friends from the FBI, SEAL Team Sixteen, and Troubleshooters, Incorporated, including Sam Starrett and Alyssa Locke. But the holiday season brings more to the happy couple than they expect.
A waterfall coming through their kitchen ceiling, a bat colony in the attic, old family tensions . . . even an international incident can’t dampen their spirits. But add to that a parade of unexpected guests, including a reporter looking for a scoop, an ex-lover hell-bent on causing trouble, and a dangerous stalker, and suddenly the wedding is poised to unravel in chaos.
But nothing will stop Jules and Robin from getting their happy ending, because along with a guest list featuring the most elite counterterrorism force in the world, they have their own secret weapon—true love.

Spoiler Info
(view spoiler)[
Robin and Jules marry! However, it was a dramatic road getting there.
Jules was sent on a rescue mission at Thanksgiving that went terribly awry, enough that both he and Max didn’t believe they would survive. Will Schroeder was instrumental in getting them help and they made it back.
Adam continued to harass Robin, eventually leading a stalker to their Boston home that needed up with Will being shot. Adam continued to try to be a wedge but Sam handled him and Jules & Robin finally had a frank and open discussion that may have resolved the issue.
Seems a romance is brewing between Yashi’s father Greg and Cosmo’s mother Lois! Lois accompanies Robin down the aisle after he realizes she sees him as one of her children.
Bryant attends the wedding, along with Davis Jones (aka Grady Morant) who will now be working for Troubleshooters in Florida. He’s also writing a book with Will.
Looks like Will and Dolphina are now a couple. (hide spoiler)]
