PLEASE NOTE:

* There will be some triggering topics throughout this story and that this story may not be suitable for all readers. I will put trigger warnings when needed in each chapter that needs one.

*I do not own Peaky Blinders in anyway shape or form. I do, however, own my OC in this story.

* This story does NOT follow the Peaky Blinders show fully. There will be scenes added, removed, or skipped over depending on how each chapter plays out. This story is more to focus on Starlene and her story more than anything else.

Alice Shepherd had always been an interest to the Shelby brothers, ever since they were all kids. Especially John. They grew up on the same estate, with the same traditions and same rules - but she was never the same as them, or as anyone else. From the angry scars covering her body to the mess inside her head - no one quite understood her. So when she manages to escape her arranged marriage and return to Small Heath after years of being supposedly 'dead or missing' things quickly get chaotic again. Warnings: Themes of self harm, ptsd and time accurate misogyny Mentions of sexual assault, rape, abuse and torture.
