Thomas Shelby is beguiling, brilliant and brutal. He can't afford to be anything else, for keeping a grip on Birmingham's criminal empire is no easy feat. Even with family and manpower, some days are much worse than others.
So how the hell does the Tigress - having dropped out of the sky without the slightest understanding of English, no more than two identical bodyguards by her side and, more importantly, a woman - keep the sprawling red canopy of Chinatown under control?
Ambitions are great, and as its name suggests, Small Heath isn't big enough to accommodate all. Shelby and the Tigress butt heads, rubbing each other the wrong way like flint against stone, both finding the other despicable, traitorous and too smart for their own good.
But as secrets come to light and lives are threatened, they find that perhaps they have more in common than they think. After all, flint and stone make sparks, and sparks can turn into roaring fires.

Ivy Soignee - A Peaky Blinders Story
The Peaky Blinders were a street gang based in Birmingham, England, which operated from the 1880s until the 1920s. The group engaged in robbery, violence, racketeering, illegal bookmaking, and control of gambling with razor blades sewn into these caps. Everyone knew who they were. Everyone could pinpoint the family of mixed Irish Travellers with Romani origins from the very beginning. Everyone was scared. Except one. Although one could argue that she was cautious.... Several months after the end of the First World War, Aurora Wood found herself in a symbiotic relationship with the street gang and, most importantly, their ambitious, cunning crime boss, Tommy Shelby. It stemmed from more than just protection, a need for survival that the woman had because she was one of their own. In a way. Starting with the debt her father accumulated from Tommy. But as suppressing disorder and uprising persisted, the woman with fiery eyes started to adapt. And when one adapted, one became dangerous. Survival became a need, and regardless of Shelby's ambitions to build on the business empire he created and dispatch anyone who gets in his way, there was something about Aurora that he couldn't let go of. Could the enigma be solved for Tommy's sake, or will she escape from rising to the challenge of what she was meant to do? A/N: I don't own Peaky Blinders or any characters and places in this television series. Nor do I own the episodes that these chapters are based on and contain. I also don't claim to be a writer. My inspiration is to establish a creative outlet. I only own Aurora Wood and what pertains to her character story.
