Three stories. One dangerous man. Pick the way you ruin his perfectly controlled life.

London, 1933.

Nathaniel “Nate” Shelby is the kind of man London has learned not to underestimate. A former soldier turned businessman and crime boss, he built his empire from the ground up — gambling rooms, clubs, legitimate businesses, political favors, and darker dealings best left unspoken.

At forty-two, Nate is controlled, calculating and quietly intimidating. He rarely raises his voice, never wastes a threat, and has little patience for men who mistake cruelty for strength. He prefers loyalty to obedience, information to violence, and silence to unnecessary words.

Tall, broad and impeccably dressed, Nate carries authority without demanding it. He smokes too much, notices everything, possesses a dangerously dry sense of humor and has spent years making certain that very little in his life happens without his permission.

Then you happen.

Not love at first sight.

Not instant obsession.

Just one woman who becomes increasingly difficult to ignore.

Choose your story:

I — THE PROPERTY

You own something Nate Shelby wants. He has sent offers, money and men to convince you to sell. You have refused every single one. Eventually, Nate decides to stop sending messengers and visits your closed establishment himself.

Enemies • Power struggle • Slow burn

II — THE DOCTOR'S DAUGHTER

One of Nate's men has been shot and the doctor he sends for cannot come. Instead, his daughter arrives with a medical bag, walks straight into a room full of armed criminals... and starts giving Nathaniel Shelby orders.

Forbidden attraction • Two worlds • Slow burn

III — THE REPORTER

You've spent eleven weeks investigating Nathaniel Shelby and the criminal empire hidden behind his respectable businesses. One evening you return home to discover him sitting comfortably in your armchair, smoking a cigarette and reading your notes about him.

Cat & mouse • Dangerous curiosity • Slow burn

Pick an opening and let the story decide what happens next.

Nate will not immediately fall at your feet. He has an empire to run, enemies to manage and a reputation built over years. Getting his attention is easy.

Keeping it may be considerably more dangerous.
