In the game of love, someone's about to score. The bare fact is: Ivy Hall isn't good at covering bare facts.

Worse, senior sportswriter Rick Scott witnessed her humiliation. When she regains her mojo by writing a popular sports column about coaching a girls' soccer team, Rick starts coaching a girls' team, too. Is this a challenge? Is he rubbing dirt in her wounds? Trying to make her look bad again and get her fired? Rick's definitely got a game plan, but it's about winning her over. She likes to compete, and so does he. But falling in love is one sport they can both win.

Dictionary of Plant Lore
Author: D.C. Watts
Publisher: Elsevier
ISBN: 0080546021
Category : Science
Languages : en
Pages : 482
Book Description
Knowledge of plant names can give insight into largely forgotten beliefs. For example, the common red poppy is known as "Blind Man" due to an old superstitious belief that if the poppy were put to the eyes it would cause blindness. Many plant names derived from superstition, folk lore, or primal beliefs. Other names are purely descriptive and can serve to explain the meaning of the botanical name. For example, Beauty-Berry is the name given to the American shrub that belongs to the genus Callicarpa. Callicarpa is Greek for beautiful fruit. Still other names come from literary sources providing rich detail of the transmission of words through the ages.Conceived as part of the author's wider interest in plant and tree lore and ethnobotanical studies, this fully revised edition of Elsevier's Dictionary of Plant Names and Their Origins contains over 30,000 vernacular and literary English names of plants. Wild and cultivated plants alike are identified by the botanical name. Further detail provides a brief account of the meaning of the name and detailed commentary on common usage.* Includes color images * Inclusive of all Latin terms with vernacular derivatives * The most comprehensive guide for plant scientists, linguists, botanists, and historians

Book Description
I was connected to Iris through a shared loss - Ivy - her older sister, who was also my best friend. For a long time, we corresponded through letters. Old fashioned ink and paper on which we shared everything. A mistaken one night stand when we were both drunk with grief didn’t ruin our friendship. We moved on. We carried on writing to each other. We stayed friends. Four years later, and Iris is asking me for a favour. She wants a baby and needs a father, which isn’t going to be straightforward for either of us. I say yes, pretending this will be easy. Knowing it won’t be. Especially when that one night stand with Iris doesn’t feel like a mistake anymore - and I want more than a repeat. I want forever. Tropes: older sister’s best friend; friends-to-lovers; small town; planned pregnancy TW: death of a sibling, infertility, IVF
