At a prestigious royal race meeting, Tommy Shelby notices a young woman sitting among Birmingham’s most eligible women, surrounded by wealth, status and expectations. Jess appears perfectly suited to the world she was born into. Beautiful, composed and well-mannered. But Tommy notices something nobody else seems to see. She doesn’t look happy. Their paths cross again when Jess escapes the crowds and retreats to the stables, where an unexpected conversation begins something neither of them could have anticipated. Tommy Shelby was never supposed to fall for a woman from a world so far above his own. And Jess was never supposed to fall for a Shelby. But with an arranged marriage waiting for her and society already deciding her future, falling in love may be the easiest part of their story. Because Tommy doesn’t know she doesn’t want the wedding. And Jess doesn’t know whether he’ll ever choose to stop it.
