In a world where the vagina is still, too frequently, considered taboo, this book aims to entertain, educate and enlighten. Mika Simmons, creator and host of The Happy Vagina podcast, rightly believes that this taboo is problematic and can lead to a whole host of health issues. Intimate health and pleasure can be hard to talk about, regardless of background or experience, The Happy Vagina is here to smash this stigma for women, and men.

So many women hit their 40s or 50s and realize: It's time for a career change. Maybe you're yearning to try something new, or you're sensing that layoffs are coming and you need a backup plan. Perhaps you paused or downsized your career to raise children, and you're ready to rejoin the workforce. How do you reboot, relaunch, return to, or reinvent a career at age 40? Or 50? Or 60? And how can you create a career and life that will provide you with purpose and financial security for years to come?

Why are women so often overlooked and underpaid? What are the real reasons men get raises more often than women? How can women ask for - and actually get - the money, the job, the recognition they deserve? Prompted by her own experience as cohost of Morning Joe, Mika Brzezinski asked a wide range of successful women to share the critical lessons they learned while moving up in their fields. Power players such as Facebook's Sheryl Sandberg, Senator Elizabeth Warren, Harvard's Victoria Budson, comedian Susie Essman, and many more shared their surprising personal stories.

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.

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.

Life was good. I was tending bar, making enough to get by, paying my rent, and enjoying the occasional cocktail with my best gay boyfriend, Matty. And then I got the call. One of my customers had passed. The one who we nicknamed “Grandpa”, who'd watch us for hours from his seat at the bar, sucking on the same beer, never leaving a tip. For some reason, the old coot left me his estate. Thanks to good old Grandpa, it looks like I may never have to work again. But of course, there's a catch.

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.

My hellish enemies have sealed my fate. And made a very big mistake. There will be no forgiveness. Only revenge. The vicious kind. I’ve become as savage and ruthless as they are.

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.

Okay. So I’m not perfect. In fact, I might have a little problem. And it might involve breaking the law.

Well, it looks like he gets...me.

I should know better than to trust a bunch of pretty faces. The charmer: killing me with his hot Irish accent. The rebel: giving his rich family the middle finger. The single dad: raising his baby alone. The nerd: always with his nose stuck in a book. But when these four gorgeous men walk off the runway and into my life, I find it's not just the hours and lousy pay in fashion that are, um, hard. And what do these guys have in common? 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.

Happiness is our natural capacity. It isn't an emotional gift we have to work for, like the reward of retirement at the end of our career. After years of life experiences affected by inherited love patterns, we become confused with what we intuitively need and desire and what outside forces are selling us to be happy.

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.
