"You're drunk. You're always drunk. You can't keep coming here." "I didn't know where else to go."

~1923~ In which Tommy's life seems to be falling into place. Business is expanding, the family is thriving, he was a new father and soon to be married. He has everything he's ever needed and is learning to live comfortably with it. That is until he finds a woman sleeping in the hay.

When Thomas Shelby returns from war, he doesn't expect the nurse who stitched him up to be in his hometown. He didn't expect her to be Charlie Strong's goddaughter as well. But the world is full of unknown, right? Evelyn is quick to learn that her life won't be as plain as it was before the war, especially now that Thomas is aware of her existence in Small Heath. What will happen when a softhearted woman meets a coldhearted man?

She hates him. He hates her. But after a one night stand with 'no strings attached' do their feelings for one another begin to get complicated? Can Alex win her over with his 'irresistible' charms? or will she stand her ground and push him away? ~SENSITIVE AND SEXUAL CONTENT~ I started writing this book a long while ago now and the start really makes me cringe when reading back on it. However, keep on reading and I promise it gets better as the story goes on. Enjoy!
