Johnshelby Stories

Matilda Preston is the picture of 1919 high-society perfection. As the wife of Inspector Campbell's ruthlessly ambitious right-hand man, she wears expensive dresses, pours tea into porcelain cups, and hides her husband's bruises beneath high-collared lace. But Julian made one fatal mistake: he brought her back to Birmingham. Before the riches, she was Tilly Walsh-a wild, barefoot girl who ran the muddy alleyways of Watery Lane. And John Shelby has never forgotten her. Now, caught in the crossfire of a brutal war between the police and the Peaky Blinders, Tilly is playing a deadly game. By day, she is the perfect copper's wife. By night, she is risking the hangman's noose for stolen moments in the shadows with a razor-wielding gangster who is more than willing to burn the city down to set her free. Julian promised her safety. John promised her ruin. Only one of them was telling the truth.

At eighteen, Cora Shelby is the untouchable darling of the Peaky Blinders. Kept strictly in the shadows of her brothers' violent empire, she is the family's carefully guarded secret. But when the Black Hand descends on the family, the Shelbys are forced to flee their mansions and return to the mud of Small Heath to survive. Tommy's desperation brings in mercenaries: Aberama Gold and his lethal, prizefighter son, Bonnie. Savage, bruised, and devastatingly charming, Bonnie is everything Cora has been sheltered from. To Aberama, Cora is a distraction that will get his son killed. To Tommy, Bonnie is just a hired fist who has no business breathing the same air as his baby sister. But in the claustrophobic, smoke-filled rooms of a family at war, the electric pull between the gypsy fighter and the mafia princess is instantaneous. And catastrophic. Because in a vendetta where one wrong move means a bullet, falling for a Shelby might just be the prettiest poison of them all.

Sparks fly when a self-sufficient, newly single mother meets the cold-hearted bachelor gangster of Birmingham.

Y/N Zor-El was the highest-ranking officer wherever she served, a name spoken with equal parts admiration and fear. Across the trenches, soldiers whispered stories of the legendary general-a woman known for her ruthless precision, icy composure, brilliant strategy, and unwavering stubbornness. When the Shelby brothers cross paths with her on the battlefields of the Great War, none of them expect their paths to collide again years later in Small Heath. This time, they're on opposite sides of a dangerous game. Will General Zor-El dismantle the Shelby empire piece by piece, or will she forge an uneasy alliance with them to bring down the black market threatening them all? As loyalties are tested and old scars resurface, one question remains: Will hatred be the only thing to grow between them... or will love prove to be the greatest battlefield of all?

The only thing more dangerous than a Shelby with a gun is a Shelby in love. Nell Shelby is a name spoken in whispers. She is the "Iron Princess" of the Small Heath, a woman with the calculating mind of Tommy and the defiant heart of Ada. She doesn't scream to be heard, and she doesn't use a gun when a single, well-placed word could do more damage. She is the Shelby's most lethal asset: the negotiator who never blinks. When the power struggle for London reaches a fever pitch, Tommy Shelby makes a calculated move. He sends Nell to Camden Town to oversee the distillery of the one man he can't control. The brilliant, erratic, and utterly mad Alfie Solomons. Tommy's instructions were simple: Watch him. Report back. Don't let him breathe. But behind the locked doors of the distillery, the cold war between the Lion and the Shelby turns into something far more dangerous. In the moments between business deals, Alfie finds the fire beneath Nell's silk dresses, and Nell finds the only man alive who is brilliant enough to keep her interested.

𝐆𝐑𝐄𝐓𝐀 𝐉𝐔𝐑𝐎𝐒𝐒𝐈, the woman who had the privilege to know Thomas Shelby before he turned cold. She was a woman with eyes that could make a man cry - eyes that made Tommy cry. It would be just months before World War One that Greta fell victim to illness. He remained at her bedside every day, wiping her tears and making her laugh. But then the letter came. . the one that confirmed the war. It would be the letter that destroyed families as they learnt that their men would be sent away to fight. Tommy tried to refuse, of course. He didn't want to leave Greta, not whilst she was still unwell. But her sister Kitty told him to go- to do his part like the rest of them. She said there was no use of him waiting to see if Greta would return to good health. He, again, refused - until Greta agreed with her sister. "Go," she whispered whilst holding his hands, "and i'll be right here waiting for you to come back home."

𝐕𝐄𝐑𝐀 𝐒𝐇𝐄𝐋𝐁𝐘 was the bane of Tommy Shelby's existance. He loved her, of course. He'd be mad not to. She was his daughter after all. Born in 1906, Vera became the daughter of a seventeen-year-old Tommy Shelby. At first he didn't know what to do with her. He'd hold her at a distance as if she held some sort of disease. He had been one of the many stupid boys to find themselves spending their evening with a Watery Lane prostitute. It was nothing out of the ordinary, no. All of the men seemed to do it. Tommy just happened to be the one to get one of them pregnant. . . At least that was the story that he told his daughter. "Silly little gypsy girl from Watery Lane"
