    Summary

    She took the job at Shelby Company Ltd. because she needed to survive.
    Not to fall in love.
    Certainly not to raise a child.
    And definitely not to be cradled like something sacred by Tommy Shelby, war-hardened crime lord turned very soft (but still terrifying) man.

    But then came—
    • A stormy night with too much whiskey
    • A ripped dress, a fainting spell, and a baby bump nobody was supposed to see
    • The wrath of the Peaky Blinders (spoiler: it’s very bloody)
    • A quiet promise from a man who doesn’t make promises lightly: “No harm will ever touch her. Not one breath.”

    This isn’t just a love story.
    It’s survival.
    It’s healing.
    It’s Tommy Shelby with a baby in his arms, reading bedtime stories in his terrifying war voice.

    And she’s finally learning what it means to be safe.

    Summary

    Tommy Shelby hires a sharp-tongued translator known for three things: her uncanny speed, her fluency in Welsh, Gaelic, and Yiddish—and the way her body jerks and jolts with tics no one dares mention to her face.

    Except some do.
    And Tommy hears every word.

    Set in the smoke-filled back rooms of Birmingham’s underworld, this is a story of trust earned in silence, protection that doesn’t ask permission, and a love that begins in translations and ends in touch.
    He’s never met anyone like her.
    She’s never been safe enough to fall in love.

    Until now.

    Summary

    When you come to, it’s because the throbbing in your head is too much to bear. It’s all consuming, completely robbing you of your well-deserved sleep and you try to roll onto your back as you wake up.

    Something is pinning you down, and you can’t breathe. Your chest can’t expand, and suddenly, you’re wide awake.

    “Ship,” Price’s voice cuts over, tightly wound with stress, “do you copy?”

    You can’t reply. It’s as if all the air has left your lungs and you can’t get it back anymore.

    “The whole fuckin’ thing came down on ‘em,” Ghost grounds back.

    Soap groans from beside you. You slowly start to breathe again, sucking in thin and dusty oxygen, but as you do, pain starts to bloom too. Concrete thuds somewhere in the distance, and more weight crushes onto you.

    Oh.

    You’re underneath the building.

    -

    Or, when you’re captured and tortured for information, you lose your voice from screaming. Your old teammate, Simon, is amongst those who rescue you, and he helps rescue you after that too.
