I was a hunted woman. Taken in by four mountain mercenaries. Accepting their help was a mistake. Why? Because mercenaries trust no one. They’re scarred and damaged men. And now they won’t let me go. I thought I was lucky to be alive. But now that I’m on Savage Mountain, I’m not so sure. Think life with four sexy, demanding hired killers is fun? Think again. This naughty, over-the-top romance includes four hulking mountain men with checkered pasts and doubtful futures, claiming the one woman they can’t live without.

According to the law of attraction, women and men can't be friends. Contrary to this myth, my friendship with Coriander Phillips does not rest on unrequited love or un-actualized lust.

Together, we're like peanut butter and jelly, spaghetti and meatballs, wings and beer. A match made in heaven.

The Facebook Narcissist is the first book dedicated to exploring the relationship between narcissism and social media. Lena Derhally, a licensed psychotherapist certified in Imago therapy, delves into how social media enhances individual and cultural narcissism and how it may create or exacerbate toxic narcissistic tendencies in people who use it.

Mika Waltari sweeps you into the early 16th century in this tale of faith, love, and tragedy. Beginning in Finland, where our hero is born, we are introduced to young Michael Furfoot, a scholar with hopes of becoming a church prelate. His dream of ordination leads him to the famed University of Paris and its intrigues. Running short of money, he is forced to abandon his studies for the life of a mercenary soldier, a decision that will bring him into contact with some of the age's greatest leaders and intellects.

So I split. Flew the coop. Got the hell out of dodge. I figured I could do better on my own. And how wrong I was. Why’d I do it? Because I’m stubborn. Spoiled. A pain in the ass. And I hate the mountains. Although the guys were nice. And hot. And sexy. That made it hard to leave. Well, so did their locking me in my room. Sharing a house with brawny mountain men? Let's just say it wasn't only my new hiking boots that got a good workout.

As the co-host of MSNBC's popular morning show Morning Joe, Mika Brzezinski has established herself as a leading political news journalist and beloved television personality. She daily interviews world leaders - Barack Obama, Hillary Clinton, John McCain - and discusses the major events of the day with guests like Tom Brokaw, Dan Rather, Andrea Mitchell, Chris Matthews, Maureen Dowd, and Tom Friedman. But success hasn't always come easy for Mika.

The whirlwind of job applications, interviews, follow-up, resume building, and networking is just the beginning. What happens after you've landed the job, settled in, and begun to make a difference - where do you go from here? What if you feel stuck in what you thought would be your dream profession? New York Times best-selling author Mika Brzezinski and producer Daniela Pierre-Bravo provide an essential manual for those crucial next steps.

Drawing on deeply revealing conversations with powerful and dynamic women, input from researchers and relationship experts, and her own wealth of experience, Mika helps women pinpoint their individual definition of success. She advises her listeners to define the "professional value" that encompasses their worth in the workplace, and the "inner value" made up of their core beliefs and goals.

It's time to play.... I'm in debt to Luca and Leo Borroni, the gorgeous mafia twins of Las Vegas. And my payment is to play "The Game." Their dirty, deviant, sexy game. But I'm a big girl. I'll pay my debt. They can have my body. But they won't touch my heart.

When my college crush, Talbot Richardson, was elected to the United States Senate, I bragged a little too loudly that I knew him. Oops. Did I really know the sexiest, slickest guy on campus? Not a chance in hell. Unless knowing someone is following them around campus to see which dorm they live in, and which class they have at 8 a.m. on Wednesdays. Thanks to my big mouth, the paper I work for now expects me to do a story on him. Surely he’ll meet with me since we went to college together? Right? Logical assumption, except that he doesn’t know me from a hole in the wall.

Fast paced, fun, and full of seriously naughty revenge...When four mountain mercenaries found me alone in a bar, in a dirty wedding dress, and with mascara stains under my eyes, deep into several shots of tequila, they had a few questions. Like WTF? When they learned about the a-holes who used me in their quest to get ahead - who lied, stole, and tossed me aside like a piece of human garbage, they set out to exact revenge. Those people, who exploited me and preyed on my innocence, should have just killed me because now they’re going to pay, thanks to my men.

You will marry me. Our wedding will be in your father’s hotel. You will invite 200 guests so we have plenty of witnesses on our happy day. Your father will walk you down the aisle, dance with you, and give a delighted speech. Then, you will come home with me, where we will live happily-ever-after. You have two weeks to pull this together. And if you try to disappear during that time, I will find you. And when I do, both you and your father will find yourselves in a very...unfortunate situation.

Okay. So I’m not perfect. In fact, I might have a little problem. And it might involve breaking the law. So, when mob boss Leo Borroni and his buddies catch me in the act, well, I’m pretty much screwed. They take bets on how far I’ll go to get out of the mess I'm in. And the winner? Well, it looks like he gets...me.

She saw something she should not have. That happens when you’re in the wrong place at the wrong time. And when you meet the wrong man - me. Her sister’s gone now, and her own life is in danger. Not my problem I say. But she was so different. So, I made a deal to help. And my deal was just as filthy as you’d think.

This podcast is all about unlocking the secrets of discussing those awkward, cringe-worthy, and often uncomfortable topics. Now, let’s be real: talking about hard things, for a lot of us, is like assembling IKEA furniture. It’s confusing, frustrating, and sometimes you end up with an extra screw…which, let’s face it, is basically a metaphor for our emotional lives.But, what I’ve learned over the years as a Therapist and Relationship Coach is that the comfort comes from knowing how to talk about hard things well, not in knowing how to avoid tough conversations like the plague. In fact...
