Fate brought them together. But will Daisy's promises keep them apart? Daisy’s new flower shop in Moonbeam has a nice steady flow of customers. But it’s so different from back home in Colorado. No, Colorado was not home. Not anymore. She can never return. Not after what happened. Jack moves to Moonbeam to help take care of his mother, though his mom insists she doesn’t need help. Okay, so maybe he just wants a change and uses his mom as an excuse. But what he really needs is to find a place to live. Luckily, Daisy’s neighbor needs a renter and Jack ends up living next door to Daisy. What starts as a friendship quickly blossoms into something more. But Daisy made two promises to herself. Promise one: swearing off having a relationship. But her heart tells her it might be okay to take a chance with Jack. Maybe. Then disaster strikes. Even if she would consider breaking the first promise, she will not break the second one. She can’t. And a relationship with Jack would shatter that promise into tiny grains of sand. But Moonbeam has a way of weaving its charm through the lives of the people in town. One never knows what may happen...

What gardeners want most is a bigger and better return on their investment of time and money—maximum yields and superior flavor for edibles, long-lasting blooms for flowers. Derek Fell's Grow This! features expert advice for choosing and growing the top-performing plants (and avoiding the ones that disappoint). Derek Fell has grown hundreds of varieties and annually visits gardens and test plots across America, so he's qualified to guide gardeners to the best of the best—more than 600 vegetable, flower, herb, and lawn grass all-stars. He offers honest feedback about plant performance, even when it contradicts favorable public opinion or a grower's claims. Seed racks may be filled with ‘Kentucky Wonder' snap beans, but he dismisses that variety as too fibrous and needy and instead recommends ‘Blue Lake' beans for tenderness and high yields. Fell's firsthand experience means the difference between choosing plant winners and losers. Packed with insider evaluations from seedsmen, growers, and nursery retailers that readers won't find elsewhere, Derek Fell's Grow This! explains industry lingo and debunks marketing hype to help gardeners select the best-performing plants for all garden conditions and goals.

"Circa 3230 BCE! Dwapar Yug, the end of the Third Age after Satya Yug and Treta Yug, described in the Purans! It was midnight on Ashtami Tithi in the Hindu lunar month of Bhadrapad, corresponding to August of the Gregorian calendar. After six of the darkest nights in seven years when all of his six brothers were killed soon after their birth, there came another such night. Entire Mathura mourned with winds howling and dusk giving way to an appalling rainy night. Nature seemed to enlighten one and all about the birth of the eighth child specified in the prophecy. And a God was born on earth as a mortal. Because the rising evil had to be suppressed! He was Krishn. The seventh fetus was transferred to its step-mother’s womb at three months. This fetus, after completion of the gestation period, was born as the elder brother of the God. The incarnation of Sheshnag, the king of all serpents and serpent deities, became the brother of the incarnation of Vishnu! Fourteen years of twists and turns, one after another, in the life of Krishn! Who were his friends? What games did he play? How did he grow up? When did he start playing the flute? Who was his teacher? How did he become a hero by the time he became a teenager? Did he commandeer an army in the battlefield at fourteen? Who was Radha? Who was she married to? Krishn awaits you…"
