Recommended for love story lovers! I loved all the stories in it! My favourites were 'The Duel' by Georgette Heyer, 'The Scapulary' by Rafael Sabatini, 'Mister Death and the Redheaded Woman' by Helen Eustis, 'The Sudden Wings' by Thomas Burnett Swann, 'Springtime a la carte' by O.Henry and 'Night Bus' by Samuel Hopkins Adams. But to be frank, I loved all the stories in this book.
