The Rose of Birmingham | ᴘᴇᴀᴋʏ ʙʟɪɴᴅᴇʀꜱ
"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.

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.
