Am I a real alcoholic? This is a question asked by untold numbers of people each year. With a tumultuous upbringing in a dysfunctional family followed by an abusive and violent marriage, a blended family, and a bout with the mental health system, the question became very important to me. At the age of forty-three I reached a point in my life where I didnat even know who I was, let alone if I was an alcoholic. Having reached the point of no longer caring if I lived or died, I reached out for one last attempt to discover who I was, why I was here, and more importantly, why my life had been such a non-ending chaotic cycle of drinking and depression. A twenty-eight-day rehab program 1400 miles from home would be the springboard into a journey of self-discovery, which would ultimately change my entire life as I knew it. In this journey I discovered that I, much like an onion, needed to peel away the layers of years that I had experienced to get to the root and foundation of who I really was and what made me tick. Taking away the alcohol and drugs was just the beginning. Today I know the answer to the question and wish to share my exploration of this question so that others, too, may finally answer that question for themselves. I do not speak for all people, only for my life and my journey and my newfound answers.

For New York cop Kelsey Morrison, life is serious business, so she''s had just about enough of her neighbor across the hall, Brett Hollister. He''s too cheerful, too optimistic, too impulsive--and too sexy for his own good.

No way is she going to become just one more notch on his already overcrowded bedpost! Brett Hollister is looking for love, and he thinks Kelsey might be the woman for him in spite of her cop-like skepticism and her insistence that the glass is always half empty. But when his usual charming banter fails to convince her that he''s the man of her dreams, he gets a little help from his crazy family, his Godzilla-sized dog, a wicked pair of water guns, a Thermos full of wine, and enough hot sex to set the sheets on fire. If Brett has his way, he''ll convince Kelsey that love is forever, and she''s the one he wants to spend forever with.--Back cover.
