In the smoky heart of 1920's Birmingham, where power is currency and loyalty can cost a life, eighteen year old Anastasia Whitmore is sold into marriage with the most dangerous man she's ever heard of - Thomas Shelby.
For Tommy, the union is strictly business - a deal to secure influence and bury old debts. For Anastasia, it's a prison dressed in silk and lace. But beneath the cold arrangements and whispered threats of the Shelby world, something unexpected begins to stir.
He's all sharp edges and quiet fury. She's light, grace, and defiance wrapped in innocence. When their worlds collide, neither is prepared for the fire that follows.
In a city ruled by smoke, blood, and ambition, love might just be the most dangerous deal of all.
