Book Description
A frosty television host, a bubbly bar owner, and a litter of abandoned kittens. The recipe for ratings gold...or heartbreak? Eve Marlow has her eyes on the prize: a third season of her popular business makeover show, Do Over. But when her ratings take an unexpected dive, Eve needs a blockbuster new client, or she can kiss season three goodbye. She has her work cut out for her, and that's before she discovers a litter of newborn kittens in a trash can. Now she's desperate to find someone to take them so she can concentrate on reviving her career. Josie Swanson had to put her kitten rescue on the back burner when she inherited her father's bar two years ago. Since then, she's invested all her time and energy into keeping it afloat, but despite her best efforts, Swanson's is going under. When she gets a phone call from Eve Marlow, host of the television show Josie applied to earlier that year, the woman she's convinced can save her bar, Josie hopes her luck has finally turned. Eve knows what she needs to succeed, and it isn't Josie-or her bar. There's no denying the chemistry sizzling between them, though. Josie's personality is as vibrant as her turquoise-tipped hair. She stirs things in Eve that haven't been stirred in a long time, but there's a reason she keeps her heart under lock and key. Eve stands to lose a lot more than her TV show if she lets her guard down, no matter how tempted she is to see if Josie's love would be worth the risk.

Book Description
Here are case studies in which myths have helped Dr. May's patients make sense out of an often senseless world. It happens almost daily in a therapist's office. A patient, recalling a person, an event, an emotion, quite unexpectedly supplies a link from a life in the present to one of the durable myths of our culture. In this moment, the myth becomes a mirror, revealing to the patient the source of disturbance and pain in a pattern of behavior that often stretches a year or longer. The healing process begins. The myth, "eternity breaking into time" in Rollo Mays's words, becomes the focal point of recovery. Through tracing myths – whether from classical Greece and Dante's Middle Ages, European legend (Faust and the prototype of Sleeping Beauty), or contemporary American life (Jay Gatsby) -- and relating them to the dreams and associations he encounters in his own practice, Dr. May provides meaning and structure for all who seek direction in a morally confusing world. In this, perhaps the finest achievement of a great therapist, Rollo May writes with "the grace, wit, and style: for which he recently received the Gold Medal of the American Psychological Society.
