An Assassin's Complication A John Shelby fanfic

A John Shelby Fanfiction

John Shelby (24) is a man suffocating beneath his own honour. Trapped in a strategic, loveless marriage to Esme Lee, his life in Small Heath is defined by quiet resentment and duty to his family. But when his brother, Tommy, calls in a debt, everything changes.

The debt arrives in the form of Anya Solomons (22), the younger sister of Alfie Solomons. Known in the London underworld only as 'The Silent Assassin,' Anya is brilliant, cold, and utterly lethal. She comes to Birmingham with a crucial piece of intelligence: the Lee family is planning to betray the Peaky Blinders.

Anya is John's opposite, unburdened, razor-sharp, and dangerously free. In their very first meeting, John finds himself utterly mesmerized, desperate for an escape from his silent life. As Anya begins her work to protect the Shelby empire, she finds John's clumsy sincerity a fascinating, unwelcome complication.

In the midst of gang warfare and family treachery, their magnetic attraction ignites a desperate, secret affair. But as John risks his life and his family's truce for a moment of genuine passion, Anya must decide if she is willing to compromise her reputation for the sake of a soldier trapped in a gilded cage.
