Summary
Set against the slow-burning fuse of the Second World War, this series traces the intimate romance between Thomas and Margaret Shelby
Margaret is not just a partner to Thomas; she is his calm, his tether, the love he never thought he deserved and everything he cannot afford to lose.
Thomas must navigate a shifting world of politics, power, and war profiteering. But peace, for a man like him, is never given freely. It must be fought for, tooth and nail. As the horizon darkens with the storm clouds of war, he must decide what lines he’s willing to cross to protect the life they’ve built together.

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.
She tells herself it's just business. A means to an end. But when Tommy looks at her with those ice-blue eyes that see too much, or when his fingers brush against her cheek in the back room of The Garrison, even Flora's steady hands begin to tremble.Bookmarked by piglet15

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?
