Everybody loves a hero, whether it is the superhero, a knight in shining armour or the person that comes to your rescue on the street. They come in all shapes and sizes and genres. In this collection of short stories we go to Sarajevo, to Manhattan and to England for romance and adventure. We meet the soldiers who rescue aid workers from a war torn country, the mafia man who falls for an English girl with a terrible secret.
