House of Cinders

By Rachel Anne Jones

Summer’s almost over. Amy’s more than ready to return to normal following a harrowing escape from an armed missile silo complete with an insane cult leader and his zealous followers, the Children of the Sun. Her new romance with Austin is perfection, but will it stand the test of time and distance when she goes off to college in the Fall? Amy’s not so sure. She’s excited for her next chapter in life, and anxious to leave recent events in the past, but some doors won’t stay closed.

When unexpected trouble follows her to college, Amy’s next home visit is sooner than she planned. Amy discovers her dorm room isn’t the only invasion that happened overnight. Her mom’s new houseguests are five beautiful Russians, a mysterious samurai warrior, and some hidden gold. Can Amy handle the chilly visitors, Austin in such close proximity, acing gen eds, and whoever chases the gold? One thing is for certain, her freshmen year is already full of surprises.

I’m a thankful wife of a wonderful and loving husband, and a blessed mom of three amazing children. I'm also a grateful nurse who has the privilege to work with some pretty great people every day.I live in the Flint Hills of Kansas. I enjoy reading and writing in my spare time. I love meandering through bookstores and libraries. I love traveling, especially to the ocean. I love meeting new people and experiencing new places. I love baking in a quiet kitchen.I enjoy watching romantic comedies and I’m a huge fan of “The Office.”I believe a good book is a great opportunity to welcome a new perspective.
