"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. ⚠️

Dorothy Monroe is a petite woman with a heart too big for her chest. She's pure, kind, she looked at the world and determined all the colours of nature were miracles and needed to be remembered. She's loved photography ever since her father brought a camera home and even had a gift with the newly designed lenses ever since she could wrap her small hands around the clunks of metal. Thomas Shelby: gangster; and war hero; he reads the devils script as if it were the morning newspaper - the list will go on. I don't need to say much more, you already know him. The Shelby family, as part of Tommy's expansion plan, bought a large area of the woods on the outskirts of Small Heath, far away from the Birmingham smog, there they built safe houses and kept heavy machinery; maybe even once they kept a large crate of stolen guns, supposedly belonging to the Government. Unbeknownst to Dorothy, who stumbled around the woods (a bulky camera in hand), she had explored the woods many times, taking photos of all the things that shined bright enough, but had never come across the peculiar buildings that held many dangers. That is, of course, until she knocks upon one of the doors, ready to give an earful to whoever had built over this precious patch of land, only to come face to face with one Thomas Shelby. -loosely follows the plot of season 1- *disclaimer* I do not own the Peaky Blinders or any of Steven Knights characters, only the story of Dorothy and her own plot line. This trope is cliche and overused, but idc, I like it.
