Consumed by unimaginable forces that draws him to her, it falls upon Hawk, the Protector, to rescue the tempestuous Fire Guardian. Ashlyn and Hawk, together uncover a shared telepathic link needed to bring her home safely. Soon, they discover that by opening their hearts, they share the most of deep connections – deeper than either imagined. Published in June 2018, The House of Fire is the very first collaboration of these two Long Island based writers.
