Scoundrels
The Han Solo to Luke Skywalker or the Moriarty to Sherlock Holmes. The White Witch of Narnia or the pig Napoleon. Carmilla or Loki or Black Mariah. There's more than can be listed, and and all too often, we fall in love with them: Scoundrels.
Whether they’re villains or rogues, merciless killers, or thieves with codes of honour, so often, they steal the show. The tight-laced lead plays the straight man or woman to their jokes and schemes.
Included in this anthology are stories about thieves with hearts of gold, and adventurers who aren't so noble.

Disclaimer: I have a story in this anthology. I don't know the other authors involved in the anthology, and rated the book based on an average of the 7 stories that aren't mine (2-5 stars, individually).
With any anthology, you're going to find stories you like, and others you don't. I'm going to share the reviews for my top 3 picks:
One Last Payday, short story by P.A. Cornell, 5 stars
This sci-fi story was fantastic. A thief gets a job to transport some data from one person to another, and will pay enough for her to finally live her dream and get off world... but there's a big catch. There's twists and turns along the way that really captured my imagination. I'd look for more from this author.
From Love to Hatred Turned, short story by Isa Mclaren, 5 stars
Brand made me think of 007 as a roguish art dealer. Suave, intelligent, and one step ahead, he's a master tactician who knows how to manipulate people. The story was fun and well paced.
The Bridgemaster's Daughter, short story by John Ryers, 5 stars
I didn't see the ending of this story coming. Perhaps I should have... the clues were there all along, but I missed putting them together. I love it when that sort of thing happens. With a headstrong female lead, and a charming rogue antagonist, there's some great, believable banter, and good action.
Those three stories alone make the anthology worth checking out!
