Flame Guardian

Ashley Warfield has moved from one foster home to another for most of her life. Her twin brother and her best friend are the only people she trusts, and she has no such feeling about the attractive boy who has the same unusual abilities she does. Shortly before her eighteenth birthday, a fire she set by accident leads to an arson charge, and a stint in juvenile detention. Her only way out is to enlist in the army, where officers promise to teach her discipline and control before sending her into Special Ops, a unit that may turn her into a hero or something darker.

Ashley's powers have drawn the attention of a government that wants people like her kept hidden, and of others who would like to use her for their own ends. Someone is also tracking her, and she needs to learn who that is and whether they played a part in the deaths of her parents. She is certain she did not cause the house fire that took them fourteen years ago, but proving it means digging into a past that others would rather leave buried.

This is the first book in the Flame Guardian story, a paranormal tale about a young woman learning to live with fire she cannot fully control.
