“A spirited, independent heroine meets a smoking-hot fireman in Center’s smart romance… If you enjoyed ‘The Kiss Quotient,’ by Helen Hoang, read Things You Save in a Fire”’
– THE WASHINGTON POST
From the New York Times bestselling author of How to Walk Away comes a stunning new novel about courage, hope, and learning to love against all odds.
Cassie Hanwell was born for emergencies. As one of the only female firefighters in her Texas firehouse, she's seen her fair share of them, and she's a total pro at other people's tragedies. But when her estranged and ailing mother asks her to give up her whole life and move to Boston, Cassie suddenly has an emergency of her own.
The tough, old-school Boston firehouse is as different from Cassie's old job as it could possibly be. Hazing, a lack of funding, and poor facilities mean that the firemen aren't exactly thrilled to have a "lady" on the crew—even one as competent and smart as Cassie. Except for the infatuation-inspiring rookie, who doesn't seem to mind having Cassie around. But she can't think about that. Because love is girly, and it’s not her thing. And don’t forget the advice her old captain gave her: Never date firefighters. Cassie can feel her resolve slipping...and it means risking it all—the only job she’s ever loved, and the hero she’s worked like hell to become.
Katherine Center's Things You Save in a Fire is a heartfelt and healing tour-de-force about the strength of vulnerability, the nourishing magic of forgiveness, and the life-changing power of defining courage, at last, for yourself.

I’ve never been much of a recreational reader. One day recently, I decided to read the book that a movie I’d just seen was based on. After I read “Lost Husband”,;I thought I’d try another one of Katherine Center’s books. Now, I’ve just finished a third book by her, and I’m ready for more! Her writing style just clicks with my brain waves, and I find it hard to put the book down in order to do things that need to be done. I hope you’ll give her books a try. You could be swept away in her stories like me!

It was light enough to make you laugh, it was just the right amount of suspense to keep you wondering. From cover to cover, I really enjoyed this book!

I love Katherine Center’s books and this one did not disappoint. Forgiveness is a main theme and I learned a lot about fire fighters.
