Blood & Lavender // Alfie Solomons

| an alfie solomons fanfic |

She once saved his life in a war where nothing was gentle.
He never forgot her - even after she disappeared without goodbye.

Years after the war, Eleanor Hawthorne lives quietly in her childhood home, caring for her ailing mother and working long hours at a London clinic. She believes her past is finally behind her... until she steps into a smoky East End pub and comes face to face with the man she once knew when he was bleeding, broken, and human.

Alfie Solomons is no longer a wounded soldier. He is feared, powerful, and dangerous - and he never forgot the nurse who vanished without explanation.

When violence forces Eleanor back into his world, old wounds reopen and unspoken feelings surface. Torn between the safety of her quiet life and the pull of a man who walks in shadows, Eleanor must decide how much of her heart she is willing to risk - because loving Alfie Solomons has never been safe... and it never will be.

Some loves survive wars.
Others start them.
