After abruptly calling off her arranged engagement to a wealthy but cruel London banker, Clara Whitlow is sent away in disgrace by her parents. To avoid scandal, they send her north to Birmingham to live with her aunt and uncle, who promise to "keep her in line."
Clara expects a dull exile-grey streets, strict manners, isolation. Instead, she meets Ada Shelby, a young fiercely loyal woman with a rebellious soul. Clara and Ada become unexpected best friends, despite coming from completely different worlds.
Soon Clara meets Thomas Shelby. Ada's older brother and falls for him almost instantly.
"Stay away from the Shelbys. Especially Thomas Shelby."
But warnings come too late.

Eleanor Whitmore came to Small Heath to escape the war-the memories, the screams, the blood she couldn't wash from her hands. She wanted quiet. She wanted to disappear. But then she caught the attention of the Shelby brothers. Thomas Shelby-calculated, cold, untouchable-found himself softening in ways he never thought possible. And John Shelby-the charming, reckless one-couldn't understand why the girl felt so familiar, or why he couldn't stay away. Two brothers. One woman. And as their lives began to unravel, Eleanor realized too late the chaos her presence had brought. She never meant to come between them. So she ran. But leaving the Shelbys was never going to be simple-not when she was the first and only thing that ever made Thomas feel... and John break.

Tommy Shelby ~ Between the Walls and the Whiskey
Cecilia Clark didn't cross the ocean for trouble and certainly not for love, yet both welcome her to Small Heath Birmingham through the cold blue gaze of Thomas Shelby. When the bar maid proves to be much more than an extra set of hands, Tommy learns the true meaning of love with a broken heart. In honor of this final season, I decided to post the very first fic I ever wrote, all the way back in 2015! Thats how inspired I was by those brilliant blue eyes and that beautifully sad man who still could scare everyone in the room. Thanks for absolutely crushing our hearts while being the baddest boy on the block Mr. Shelby, I can't wait to see how you'll devastate us in season 6. (no spoilers please!) Warnings: 18+ M/f, VERY explicit sexual content throughout, threats of violence, attempted rape, blood/violence, language, heavy drinking/smoking, period typical views of race, period typical views of assaultComplete

As Thomas grows closer to Y/N, his initial skepticism turns into real feelings, but Y/N's resistance to the arranged marriage complicates everything. The clock is ticking, and with the stakes higher than ever, Thomas must choose between duty and love, while the Boyd family's hidden motives begin to unravel.
