The Devil's Favorite

Flora was just a starving girl with clever hands and a smart mouth when Polly Gray found her stealing bread in Small Heath. Raised under the Shelby roof, she became the gang's secret weapon. Clever, silent, loyal. She poured drinks at the Garrison by sixteen and whispered secrets into Tommy Shelby's ear like a shadow with teeth. By eighteen, she was more than a survivor-she was the Garrison's golden girl, Tommy Shelby's most trusted shadow. His secret weapon. His quietest comfort.
But when Grace is gone and the ghosts won't stop screaming, it's Flora who keeps Tommy from falling apart. She sleeps in his bed when the nightmares get too loud. She brings him tea, not knowing he craves her touch more than the whiskey.
Because Thomas Shelby-the man with ice in his veins and war in his heart-starts to look at her differently. His protectiveness turns possessive. His silence turns dangerous. And when Flora starts to fall for Isaiah Jesus, Tommy's world starts to unravel.
And when Tommy starts to pull the strings, turning his empire against the boy who touched what was his, Flora sees it all.

And Flora?
She's no longer a girl afraid of the devil.
She's in love with him.
