Summary
“I thought you didn’t work for the Blinders, Charlotte?”
Something fluttered briefly, flared into life in the pit of her stomach when his lips rolled around her name.
“I don’t Mr Shelby, but I’d do this as a favour. Call it in return for my grandmother treating you as a mark in her kitchen. Nothing too dangerous, either. Not a job, just asking a few questions.”
***
Charlotte Williamson, born and grown in Small Heath, should have known better than to get mixed up with the Shelbys again. She’d once been let go from a job she’d never even claimed to have, it not being “women’s business” after the war to work for the Peaky Blinders.
But buried in a seamstress shop some years later, she can’t ignore a long forgotten thrill of excitement when Thomas Shelby comes unexpectedly calling with an old accusation.

Summary
‘No man has hit me, either. Another girl stole my money. Money I’d been saving to go after my brother – who you fucking sent away and left me, all on my own, to fend for myself. Don’t you judge me for the position that you put me in!’
‘Don’t shout at me in me own fucking car!’ Tommy barked back, turning and pointing at her.
‘Stop fucking pointing at me! There is only one person to be pointing fingers at, and it’s you! You fucking did this to me, Thomas Shelby!’
Tommy’s gaze was wide and wild, horrified by her words, looking at her skinny wrist, her battered face. He was shaking his head, but she was sobbing, looking out of the window, likely regretting speaking at all. She had been sweet. So sweet.
He swallowed. ‘Go in the house. Polly has a bath for you.’

Summary
The year is 1916. Lady Catherine Beaumont has been shipped off to her first duty station as a frontlines nurse, much to her aristocratic parents' chagrin. She wants to prove herself useful in a time where women don't have a lot of power or options presented to them, and she know she doesn't want to spent the rest of her life as a member of the stuck-up aristocracy. A potentially fatal decision nearly costs Lady Catherine everything, but in the end, it's possible it led her right to where she belonged.
The year is 1924. Thomas Shelby finally feels as though he's made in life. He has an amazing house, a thriving family business, and though there's a little thorn in his side by the name of Winston Churchill, it isn't anything he can't manage. However, there's a hole in his heart that he is finding increasingly hard to ignore, one that was once the home of a woman he'd met in the most unlikely of places, one who taught him it was okay to want to be someone else.

Summary
She was on the run, leaving behind a life that would kill her if she stayed any longer. It'd been years since Emma had been to Birmingham. Hell, it'd been years since she'd stepped foot on English soil. She was only seventeen when she was forced to leave a life she'd loved--forced to leave the only man who had ever truly held her heart. Emma was sure she'd never been the same since. Returning home seemed like the most logical place when all she craved was safety.
There was ten years and a war between them, but Tommy Shelby hadn't been the same since Emma left. The memory of her leaving always caused bile to rise up in his throat, always leaving a bitter taste of "what if" lingering on his tongue. He'd grown cold and distant, never able to force his first love from his mind.
Their reunion has been a decade in the making--one that will rain hellfire upon all of Birmingham.
