Presenting...the sixth annual More Than Words anthology.

Little by little, one person at a time, we can make our world a better place. The five dedicated women selected as this year's recipients of Harlequin's More Than Words award have done just that, by discovering a seed of compassion, and nurturing it to effect real change in their communities. To celebrate their accomplishments, five bestselling authors have honored the winners by writing short stories inspired by these real-life heroines.

Includes Sheltering Hearts by Robyn Carr, Almost Lost by Joan Johnston, Safely Home by Christina Skye, No Limits by Rochelle Alers and The Princess Shoes by Maureen Child.

Harlequin hopes More Than Words inspires you to look into your heart and find the heroine who lives within.

Proceeds from the sale of this book will be reinvested into the Harlequin More Than Words program to support the causes that are of concern to women.

Christina Skye's Bio

Chritina Skye has eaten snake meat in Shanghai and armadillo in Canton. A Ph.D. graduate in Chinese literature, she has translated for Chinese generals, dissident poets, and fifth-generation puppet masters. In 1981 the Ohio native was nearly arrested when a businessman she was working for insisted she help him smuggle two "ladies of dubious virtue" into Peking's prestigious State Guest House.

The armed PLA soldiers at the gate were not amused, she notes. But these days Skye's greatest love is England, especially the fog-swept southeast coast. Here she first encountered the portrait of a proud-faced, sad-eyed aristocrat and a great gray cat sitting protectively beneath it. Adrian and Gideon haven't given her a moment's peace since.

Two Draycott novellas later (one appeared in Avon Books' Haunting Love Stories and one in Bewitching Love Stories), the award-winning author of four historical romances is deep at work on a new novel set at magical Draycott Abbey.

A descendant of Revolutionary War hero Adam Helmer, Christina Skye currently lives with her husband and young son in New Jersey, where she prudently avoids snakes and anything that resembles an armadillo.
