A Questionable Client by Ilona Andrews is a short story in the Kate Daniels series. Kate gets to go on a blug gig - a bodyguard job. She hates bodyguard jobs, but needs the money. When she meets the client, she questions her sanity.
Fans of the Dresden Files (raises hand) will enjoy the short story by Jim Butcher - Even Hand. No, it's not about Harry Dresden, but about John Marcone, the crime boss that is always after Harry. Here, Marcone is out to protect children at any cost, even if it costs his business money.
Carrie Vaughn writes a short story about a werewolf hunter in God's Creatures. Cormac is hunting it, and the closest building is a Cathlic school and church. He is determined to kill it before it kills again.
There are other stories by Shannon K. Butcher, Rachel Caine, P.N. Elrod, Deidre Knight, Vicki Pettersson, and Lilith Saintcrow. I found the collection to be enjoyable and liked revisiting a few secondary characters from favorite series.
