  A down and dirty gem of a tale—a twisty and twisted crime novel that evokes the worlds of George V. Higgins, Patricia Highsmith, and David Mamet, destined to be a neo-noir classic. 
   
   
   
  Rick and Frank are recovering addicts and accomplished house thieves. They do not steal randomly—they steal according to order, hired by a mysterious handler. The jobs run routinely until they're tasked with taking a seemingly worthless trophy: an object that generates interest and obsession out of proportion to its apparent value. 
   
   
    
  Just as the robbery is completed, the two are involved in a freak car accident that sets off a chain of events and Frank disappears with the trophy. As Rick tries to find Frank, he is forced to confront his past, upending both his livelihood and his sense of reality. The narrative builds steadily into a powerful and shocking climax. Reveling in its con-artistry and double-crosses, Just Thieves is a nail-biting, noirish exploration of the working lives of two unforgettable crooks and the hidden forces that rule and ruin their lives.

  New York City, 1950. Viviana Valentine and Tommy Fortuna have a lot of resolutions for the new year—whether it’s continuing to build up their detective agency or planning their wedding, the two are looking forward to the future. On their way to Times Square to celebrate, the two witness a brutal stabbing. When Tommy tries to chase down the culprit, Viviana tries her best to save the man. She’s unsuccessful, but Viviana hears his final words: a whispered apology to an unknown friend. Clues are hard to come by, with the only leads being the fraught last words and a few nondescript matchbooks in the victim’s overcoat. Their investigation is halted when Detective Jack Lawson of the New York Police Department arrives, immediately ruffling Viviana’s feathers and bumping chests with Tommy, who he nearly arrested for murder just months earlier. The two know there’s more to the story, but there are other pressing matters at hand. Clients are clamoring to get the detectives to work on their cases: a man is being blackmailed by a criminal who only writes in code, Tommy’s old friend needs his fiancée tailed, and an investment banker has mysteriously vanished. To add to their workload, Viviana knows something strange is happening at her boarding house. Will all of this—plus planning for a wedding—be too much for one Girl Friday?

  Bound by fate, yet forbidden to love 
  When Phillip Watson, the Earl of Arundel, awakens battered and broken in a stranger’s home, he has no memory of who he is—or who wants him dead. As he pieces together the fragments of his forgotten life, the one bright spot is in a growing affection for Miss Emma Parker. 
  Emma Parker is a spirited romantic with dreams of a love so powerful it rivals that of Romeo and Juliet. When her father saves a man from the brink of death, Emma finds herself drawn to the mysterious stranger with no name, no past, and a magnetic pull that ignites her very soul. 
  As Phillip’s memories return, so do the secrets he’s desperate to escape. Phillip’s father, the duke, entered a wager, betrothing him to another, making his newfound love for Emma forbidden—a temptation that could ruin them both. 
  Torn between the woman who has captured his heart and the deadly truth that someone wants him dead, Phillip must make an impossible choice: duty or desire, survival or sacrifice. 
  The Earl of Arundel is a closed-door Regency romance with high stakes, lots of swoon, and a story that will keep you reading from page one to the very end.

  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. 
   
  The Emerald Isle is home to literary talent on a grand scale.  And amongst their ranks are women of quite extraordinary ability who refuse to take second place to the men.  Their voice is strong, their words beguiling, entrancing but often with a will of iron as they create works of character, of narrative and of quite sumptuous literature.  Genius has many names.
