When Shane's mother is poisoned, he desperately seeks out the truth. Being deceived by his father, he travels far from home searching for answers. Romantically falling for the girl next door. Not knowing who to trust, but her. Divided by secrets and lies. Is The Heart of Fire enough to keep him from losing? Learning the techniques of being an exceptional skilled martial artist. Will that even be enough? With his perseverance and determination. Can Shane find his mother's killer before it's too late? Can he unravel the truth? Or are some secrets better left unsaid?

When Shane's mother Bo is poisoned. His father Han tries and deems her death as a suicide. Devastated by her passing, Shane knew in his heart that couldn't be true. After finding a list of names and codes in his father's office. Shane says his goodbyes to his younger siblings Summer and Kado. Traveling far from his home in Hong Kong and landing 8,140 miles in Washington, D.C. Where he hopes to find the answers he so desperately seeks. Shane finds Demetria who is one of the names on the list. At first, she wants nothing to do with him. Feeling overwhelmed by his questions and learning the truth. Her mother was murdered too. Demetria demanded answers from her father Victor. With every word he spoke strung out like a rope wrapped around by a lie on his tongue. Feeling scared and not knowing who to trust, she runs to Shane. Showing compassion, understanding, and surrounding her with love. Their bond only grew stronger. Shane is exceptionally skilled in martial arts exceeding the highest belt. With all the odds stacked against him, will his training even be enough? Can he fight his way back home? Can he unravel the truth? Or will it be too late? Sadley enough he gets a call from his sister Summer letting him know that his baby brother is in the hospital. He has been poisoned, and the only thing keeping him alive is the machine at his bedside. Shane takes the first flight home to be with Kado. Two days later Kado passes away. In the middle of the cemetery, Shane pleas out to his mother. Feeling so torn apart and broken. He is reminded of what the Heart of Fire really means. The strength of a dragon, courage of a lion, honor of a soldier, and wisdom of the Buddha. He stands to his feet and races home to confront his father. Finding evidence and proof that his own father killed his mother. Han wanted to keep her quiet, knowing that she knew too much. Bo knew Han and Victor were dangerously working together on something toxic. Shane gets in a heated argument with his father, and he turns him into the police. Han reveals that Demetria has been taken and is set to be killed. Full of fear and rage. Without thinking Shane forcefully punches his father in the face. Warning him if anything happens to her that he will come find him in prison and kill him himself. Rushing back to Washington to save the girl he loves. He will have to put it all on the line. Fighting his way through every obstacle that Victor throws his way. He is unarmed and never uses a bullet. His body is his weapon. Taking on several men loaded with guns. Shane conquers it all, without skipping a beat. Kicking down the door to Victor's office to rescue Demetria from the room locked inside. With one last attempt Victor tries to end Shane's life. Facing the bullets once again, Shane fights with every ounce of strength he has left. Being victorious, he saves and rescues Demetria. During her capture, Demetria learned that her father is the one who murdered her mother as well.

Author Bio:
I have been writing since I was very young. From poems to songs. Eventually I turned that passion into screenwriting. I was inspired by the movie, "Romeo Must Die." I wrote my first screenplay on a typewriter when I was just 16 years old. Today I have rewritten and edit it. Making it sound better than before. I have written a few more since, titled Snatched, Salvation, and Electric Shock. I am a stay-at-home mom of 5. I am also very passionate about my children, which is why it has taken me so long to jump start my career.
