   Summary

   Finn Shelby never meant to fall in love with Darcy Sinclair—not like that. But after the war, after the blood and the grief and the weight of the Shelby name, he kept showing up. With tea. With gloves. With flowers. With quiet, steady love.

   And Darcy? Darcy tried not to love him back. He had his reasons. Reasons wrapped in fear, in shame, in memories of boys who once said “I love you” and left him bleeding for it.

   But Finn never stopped showing up. And eventually… Darcy stopped pretending he didn’t want to be loved.

   A slow-burn, post-war Peaky Blinders love story about finding safety, saying yes, and calling someone a good boy until they forget what it means to be afraid.
