Gypsy Stories

At eighteen, Cora Shelby is the untouchable darling of the Peaky Blinders. Kept strictly in the shadows of her brothers' violent empire, she is the family's carefully guarded secret. But when the Black Hand descends on the family, the Shelbys are forced to flee their mansions and return to the mud of Small Heath to survive. Tommy's desperation brings in mercenaries: Aberama Gold and his lethal, prizefighter son, Bonnie. Savage, bruised, and devastatingly charming, Bonnie is everything Cora has been sheltered from. To Aberama, Cora is a distraction that will get his son killed. To Tommy, Bonnie is just a hired fist who has no business breathing the same air as his baby sister. But in the claustrophobic, smoke-filled rooms of a family at war, the electric pull between the gypsy fighter and the mafia princess is instantaneous. And catastrophic. Because in a vendetta where one wrong move means a bullet, falling for a Shelby might just be the prettiest poison of them all.

Blood... blood is the life force of any living being. Even wars and the earth thrive on it. It tastes bitter to all of those called humans. But to something called a monster, well, then it might vary. But those blinded by false pretense of myths being fake know nothing of a long and bloody war between humans and monsters-Hunter vs. predator, strong against weak, vampire vs. cattle. That is the old name of the game. One day, the great purebloods and the wise old hunters decided to make a truce between them. One such step is a school that carries both-a school of day and night students-the day, never knowing the truth of the night. Abigail is only a select few who know such things, but only because fate decided to start her story of thrill and myths early-leading and guiding her to the last purebloods to exist. Will she learn to help and put her annoyance of purebloods behind her, or fail to understand the truth of being a gypsy is loving a monster?
