Light This Candle by Cindy Dees is a 2013 Harlequin Special Release.
The More than Words short stories highlights real women doing extraordinary things to enrich the lives of others.
In this story Mitch is visiting the widows of the men lost in combat from his unit. When he locates Cassidy, a very young woman with a sick child, he discovers she is completely alone and in financial difficulties as well.
He is called out by a real character named Rose who challenges him to help the young widow by doing chores around her place and sticking by her through her son's illness.
Mitch accepts that challenge and soon finds himself falling in love with Cassidy and her son, Cody.
This story deals with a very difficult topic and the dire circumstances in which Mitch and Cassidy meet does not make the best scenario for a romance to develop. As you can imagine the romance takes a backseat to the drama. Still, the story was touching and unique, Mitch being a guy taken completely unawares and discovers he has been wanting and needing what Cassidy and Cody can give him... love and family. A Sweet and Touching Story. 3 stars

Here’s what this book is about:”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.”
I got this ebook for free on Amazon in 2018 and I finally got around to reading it. I liked this book. This book was heartwarming and sweet.
