-
She was never meant to be free.

Raised in a world where power was built, traded, and controlled, she was trained to become the perfect weapon-intelligent, calculated, and untouchable. A woman designed to manipulate men... without ever belonging to one.

Until she ran.

Into Birmingham. Into danger. Into him.

Thomas Shelby doesn't trust easily-and he doesn't lose control. But the moment she walks into his world, everything shifts. She isn't afraid of him. She doesn't follow. And worst of all...

she understands how he thinks.

When he realizes she isn't just running from something-but capable of destroying it-he keeps her close. Too close.

Because she isn't just useful.

She's dangerous.

And the closer they get, the harder it becomes to tell what's part of the plan...

and what's something far more reckless.

Because in a world built on power, control, and blood-

the most dangerous thing isn't their enemies.

It's what they want from each other.
