As Jules Bartholomew gets to know the residents and staff, he finds himself drawn to the apartment’s Ingrid, who comforts Ingrid and reminds her of the sister she lost 8 years ago. Believing that Ingrid Bartholomew is not what she seems, and a dark history lurking beneath her bright facade begins to scare her, Jules brushes it off as a harmless ghost story—until Ingrid disappears the next day.
In search of the truth behind Ingrid’s disappearance, Jules delves deeper into Bartholomew’s dark past and the secrets hidden within its walls. His discovery that Ingrid Bartholomew is not the first tenant to go missing puts Jules against time as he uncovers the killer, uncovers the building’s secret past, and escapes Bartholomew before his temporary status becomes permanent.
Cassie Hanwell was born for emergencies. As one of the only female firefighters in Texas, she’s seen her fair share of them and excels at dealing with other people’s tragedies. But when her divorced and ailing mother upends her life and asks her to move to Boston, it’s an emergency Cassie never expected.
A gritty, old-school firehouse in Boston is a stark contrast to Cassie’s old job. Hazing, a lack of funding and poor conditions mean firefighters are less than thrilled to have a competent and intelligent “lady” on the crew like Cassidy. Except for Handsome, who doesn’t mind having Cassie around. But he can’t think about it. Because he does not love. And because of the advice he gave his old captain: don’t talk to the firemen. Cassie feels her resolve slipping…but will she risk her place in the career she’s worked so hard to be taken seriously?

Kathryn Center’s Things That Keep the Fire is a heartfelt, moving novel about the true meaning of life, love, and courage.
It excites us and it pains us. It controls our thoughts, it destroys our lives, and it is what we live for. But we almost never talk about it. And desire as a buried force in our lives has remained unexplored until now. Over the past eight years, journalist Lisa Taddeo has traveled the country six times, interacting with ordinary women from different regions and backgrounds. As a result, Three Women is a portrait of the most profound non-fiction desire and one of the most anticipated books of the year.
We begin with Lina, a housewife and mother of two in suburban Indiana whose marriage has lost its passion after ten years. She complains that “the sensation is offensive” and spends her days cooking and cleaning for a man who refuses to kiss her on the lips. To Lina’s dismay, her marriage counselor also says her husband’s position is correct. Starved for love, Lina begins to panic every day. When he reconnects with an old flame through social media, he quickly becomes involved in a task that will require everything.
Set in North Dakota, we meet Maggie, a seventeen-year-old high school student who finds a confidant in her beautiful, married English teacher. By Maggie’s account, late-night texts and phone calls turn into a secret physical relationship, and she skips school on her eighteenth birthday and plans to make love all day; instead, he breaks up with her on her thirtieth birthday. Years later, Maggie has no degree, no career, and no dreams to live by. When she learns the man has been named North Dakota’s teacher of the year, she steps forward with her story—and her former classmates and jury are incredulous. The judgment turns their peaceful community upside down.
