Summary: The first time Thomas Shelby met Katherine Kovach, it was over in France. Falling in love in the midst of a war is never easy. Staying in love during the war...is another feat unto itself.

December 23rd, Thomas Shelby requested someone new come to his room. But when he meant new, he didn't mean her first day on the job. That night, for the first time since Grace's death, a woman numbed the pain. Katherine is desperate for money and eager to keep her in his bed, Thomas makes a deal with her to keep her there until she pays him back. Katherine soon becomes a very bad habit that he can't kick.

Strangers in the night. A bottle of whiskey. A gold dress. She was getting married tomorrow. So was he. Both were getting married to perfect strangers. So, if they happened to hook up for one night, their paths will never cross again. And they certainly won't up facing each other at the altar. Will they? (Sequel to 'Say yes to Heaven'.)

Kate Carter has one job. Find out where Thomas Shelby is hiding the guns by any means necessary so Inspector Campbell will release her little sister. Falling in love with her target wasn't part of the plan.

Polly closed her eyes as if listening to something only she could hear. "She's not dead, Thomas," she whispered. "They told me she was, but I'd know it. A mother would know." "The records say she died of scarlet fever," he said flatly. "The records lie."

The bells of St. Mary's had barely faded from Grace Shelby's ears when she learned how to lie again. Arrow House was all white walls and careful silence, filled with the kind of peace Grace had once believed she wanted. She wore her new life easily - the devoted wife, serene at Tommy Shelby's side - but London never loosened its grip on her thoughts. In a narrow terraced house tucked behind a dressmaker's shop in Bloomsbury, eight-year-old Beatrice Burgess lived a life built on secrets. Beatrice had Grace's eyes and her quiet intensity, with a surname chosen for safety rather than truth - a name that could disappear if it ever needed to. Tommy didn't know. He couldn't. Not with enemies circling, not with the weight of his power growing heavier by the day. Grace paid a woman to watch over Beatrice - Mrs. Calder, a sharp-eyed widow who asked no questions and accepted her money in cash. To the neighbours, Beatrice was a polite, reserved child with ink-stained fingers and a fondness for pigeons on the square. To Grace, she was everything - the only part of her life untouched by betrayal, bullets, or the Shelby name. Each night Grace kissed Tommy goodnight beneath the high ceilings of Arrow House, her heart remained in London. Every letter she burned after reading, every train whistle she pretended not to hear, was another promise to herself: just a little longer. Because if Tommy Shelby ever discovered the truth - the child hidden away, the life Grace had carefully buried - there would be no telling whether his love would be enough to save them... or if it would put Beatrice directly in the line of fire.

Solaris Black, Sirius's daughter can't cope with what happened during the war and losing her father before she even had time with him. War does things to a person, changes them, and makes them do things without much thinking about the consequences. After finding a time turner that worked by year rather than hours in the family vault, Solaris goes back in time in hopes of saving her father and Uncle Regulus but fate has other ideas. With no way back home, Solaris finds herself stranded in 1916 during the Great War - alone and traumatized from her past that hadn't happened yet. Until she meets a soldier in the trenches. Why did she torture herself like this? One Wizarding war was bad enough but inserting herself in the muggle war? Why because she was lonely? Sergeant-Major Thomas Shelby swears it was an angel that saved him from that tunnel collapse. He had no memory of getting out but he was thankful he did. Then his Angel was there, sitting at the bar in a pub in Paris on Christmas Eve. Maybe it wasn't a hallucination after all.
