"I do bad things. But you already know that." ~ Thomas Shelby A tragic misunderstanding. A murder. A secret. An unlikely partnership. When the disappearance of a Russian refugee brings Lady Rose MacClare to the doorstep of Thomas Shelby, neither party is prepared for the significant changes a single encounter can inspire. As Rose unwillingly ventures deeper into the world of the notorious Peaky Blinders -- spanning ballrooms to dark alleys -- she finds herself torn between her moral compass, her suppressed rebellious youth, her growing love for a motherless toddler, and her mounting attraction for Tommy, a man she knows she should hate. || A historical fanfiction novel combining the fandoms of "Peaky Blinders" and "Downton Abbey." || ⚠️ Read with caution: foul language, violence, trauma, and sexual content within. This novel is NOT a romance. If you're looking for soft, sweet, fake Tommy, look elsewhere. This novel depicts him as he is in the show: flawed. ⚠️ HIGHEST RANKINGS ~ #1 Downton Abbey #1 Peaky Blinders #1 Tommy Shelby #1 Countess #2 England #2 Spying #2 Lizzie Stark #3 John Shelby #40 Birmingham #241 Historical { Began posting 07.25.22 Finished posting 07.17.23 }

"No amount of coffee could keep me awake like you do." Jake is the hockey player with the hot girlfriend. Katie is the girl with a name no one remembers. Jake is used to getting what he wants. Katie is used to getting coffee for her hungover mother. Until one night, one chance meeting between two strangers changes everything. No words, no stories to share, and above all, no names. Just two people who don't know each other, a hot string of kisses in bathroom, and a mutual goodbye. Except there's one problem: Katie felt something.
