More Than Words: Bestselling authors & Real-life heroines
Each year, the Harlequin More Than Words award is given to three women who have worked hard to change people's lives for the better. Inspired by their accomplishments, three bestselling authors have written stories to honor these real-life heroines.
In Light This Candle, Major Mitch McConnell has arrived home after serving overseas for nearly two years. Now he can finally give his condolences to Cassidy Frazier, whose husband died under his command. But when he tracks down the single mother, he finds out that Cassidy is about to be evicted and her son, Cody, is in the hospital.
At first, Cassidy tells Mitch she doesn't want his help. The military wasn't there for her when it mattered most, so she certainly doesn't need them now. But Mitch is more than a soldier: he's a caring, gentle man who's determined to ease Cassidy's burdens. And if she lets him into her family, perhaps she can give Mitch something worth fighting for...
Look for all three ebooks inspired by real-life heroines: Good Neighbors by Sheila Roberts, Just Joe by Carla Cassidy and Light This Candle by Cindy Dees.

Cindy Dees' Bio
Hi, I'm Cindy Dees! I first began writing while I was a pilot in the United States Air Force because I bet my Mom a dollar I could write a book. I won the bet in short order and realized I loved to write in the process. I criss-crossed the world for years with my trusty laptop in tow, waiting eagerly for the day when my security clearances expired and I could start sharing my stories with you. And finally, that day has arrived! When I left the Air Force to start a family, it was a natural transition for me to an LWD-6, a Large Wooden Desk with six drawers, and my well-traveled laptop computer, of course. My first book introduces an elite Air Force Special Forces team, known simply as Charlie Squad, to readers. And to answer the inevitable question, yes, I do relate some of my own real life experiences in my books. As for which parts of my books are real, all I'll say on the subject is that I'm happily married to my own real life, Air Force pilot hero. I live on a ranch near Fort Worth, Texas with the man of my dreams, our daughter, three dogs, and an assortment of creeping and crawling critters my daughter brings in to the house.
