Summary

Stone Cold Heart: 
When Colin Davies agrees to take an off-the-books job for his old friend, Jack Stone, there's only one rule. Protect Jess, Jack's little sister, and keep his hands off. No problem. Until he meets Jack's sister and realizes it's too late. He's already had his hands all over her.  
Jess Stone, a former FBI sniper tired of dealing with the worst of humanity, leaves the agency determined to change her life and start working for good. On a humanitarian mission to aid an earthquake-ravaged country, finally Jess finds a purpose working for her big brother's company. The only glitch in her future plan is the appearance of Colin Davies, an operative from one of her worst cases, and a one night stand she's been unable to forget. 
When Jess discovers the humanitarian mission isn't the whole job, she's got a choice to make. Colin wants to protect her but she's capable of taking care of herself. Can he thaw Jess's stone cold heart?

    Short stories have always been a sort of instant access into an author’s brain, their soul and heart.  A few pages can lift our lives into locations, people and experiences with a sweep of landscape, narration, feelings and emotions that is difficult to achieve elsewhere. 
     
    In this series we try to offer up tried and trusted ‘Top Tens’ across many different themes and authors. But any anthology will immediately throw up the questions – Why that story? Why that author?  
     
    The theme itself will form the boundaries for our stories which range from well-known classics, newly told, to stories that modern times have overlooked but perfectly exemplify the theme.  Throughout the volume our authors whether of instant recognition or new to you are all leviathans of literature. 
     
    Some you may disagree with but they will get you thinking; about our choices and about those you would have made.  If this volume takes you on a path to discover more of these miniature masterpieces then we have all gained something. 
     
    A new century dawns, one in which America would become pre-eminent as its industrial might and military power rose above all others.  In literature too its authors tackled new forms and new ideas, they shied away from little, immersing themselves and their readers in the promise of a new Century.

    While many elements of civilized culture provided much comic fodder for Mark Twain, detectives occupied a portion of his observations and writing for a time. The story of the Stolen White Elephant, though entirely preposterous, is rumored to be modeled after real life efforts of an actual police department who misplaced the body of a deceased victim. This audio story will leave you laughing out loud.
