❝ I had to fight like hell to be heard and that fighting has made me what I am.❞
Evelyn Shelby knows that the human mind is truly the scariest thing of all; but she uses hers to her advantage. In a world ruled by her brothers and where she was never taken seriously - Evelyn learnt quick to rely on her bark and to back it up with bite. She is a Shelby after all.
Alfie Solomons never had any intention to find love, especially after the war. A man who was forged from a heavy heart and the horrors of hell definitely didn't intend on falling for a girl who was the definition of an angel in his eyes.
Their love was dangerous - a mask that was made to be pulled away. Yet, they found themselves in a tangled web of lies, violence and an unbreakable bond.

A/N:
i will be playing around and changing the plot of the show a little bit to better suit my story, my apologies. i do not own any characters or plot lines from the show, only my own.
now that the book is finished, i would like to add to this. i have not gone back and edited a single chapter of this story lmao, so i apologise for gramatical mistakes and of course how there are multiple plotholes in this story. it took me like two years to properly finish and i was on hiatus for most of 2021, so this book didnt get written often and my writing styles have durastically changed since i started this, so therefore ideas that i thought were great when i planned the story actually sucked when me in 2022 tried to write them.
anyway, 2020 me would be proud of this story actually being complete (we have a long history of starting and not finishing WIPs).
