Summary
Shrugging one shoulder far more casually than he possibly feels, Ilya says, “I like both. Is secret, okay?”
“Okay,” Hollander says, voice cracking.
He doesn’t say anything else. The air’s so heavy around them that it feels like being in the middle of a scrum, the weight and heat of all those bodies pressing down on you. Danger always feels like hockey; it’s the most dangerous thing Ilya knows, except for this. Everything dangerous in his life involves men’s bodies and just how close he can get to them. Closer than he probably should.
Nobody knows why Shane Hollander dropped out of the 2009 draft at the last second, and a year later it stuns the whole hockey world when he's signed by the Boston Raiders. Having the two biggest stars in the league on the same line is great for Boston - but playing alongside their worst rival was never exactly in Shane or Ilya's plans. Especially not when staying away from each other starts to feel just as impossible as getting along.

Summary
1918.The war is over, but for Flora Green, the battle never truly ended. A nurse hardened by the trenches of France, she returns to Small Heath with nightmares in her head and steady hands that never shake when stitching bullet wounds—no questions asked.
When a brawl at The Garrison puts her face-to-face with Thomas Shelby, Flora makes a decision that changes everything. One calm confrontation with Arthur Shelby later, she's caught the attention of the most dangerous family in Birmingham. Tommy's proposition is simple: three pounds weekly to be their personal nurse. It's enough money to eventually escape Small Heath forever, but the price isn't measured in currency alone.
As she moves between worlds—blending modern medicine with her mother's Romani remedies—Flora finds herself drawn into Tommy's orbit. But in a neighborhood where respectability matters and Tommy's women come with their own histories, Flora must decide how close to the fire she's willing to stand.

Summary
Amara has always been close to the Shelbys, especially Tommy. For years, their bond seemed unbreakable, their connection and love so genuine that it felt like they were meant to be together. But when Tommy chooses Grace, a woman the society would accept, over Amara, it’s a devastating betrayal. Despite her unwavering loyalty and deep love, Amara realizes that in a world where skin color still defines one's place, she is seen as less acceptable than Grace, the “perfect” woman in society's eyes.
Tommy marries Grace, not out of love, but to protect his business, his image, and his future. Amara, heartbroken, faces a difficult choice: should she move on and let go of the love she still carries for him, or fight to rebuild what’s been shattered? Tommy, caught between duty and desire, is confronted with the heavy consequences of his decision.
What will become of Amara, Tommy, and their broken love? Will their shared past be enough to reignite the flame, or will the betrayal be too much to overcome for them to ever have a future together?
