Finding Basil by Rain Carrington

Escaping the corporate jungle of the big city, Herb Buffet hurls a dart at a board of twelve intriguingly unknown names; landing on –

Foggy Basin.

Ditching his ritzy condo and adopting a minimalist country lifestyle, he purchases a house in the serene outskirts sight unseen. Yes, the house came with its own sneaky secrets, but wasn’t trading corporate cynicism worth it? The property is adorned with a greenhouse and an abundant field waiting to be sowed.
Though a novice in farming with no experience beyond touring the vineyards of Napa and France, one thing Herb comes equipped with is determination. Drawing on his surname’s suggestion, Herb Buffet becomes…an herb farmer.
The initial attempts yield to moments of self-doubt, as the seedlings shrivel and die under the weight of his inexperience. Persevering, Herb is ready to give it another shot. This time not alone, but with an experienced hand. He stumbles upon Basil, a dashing young horticulturist who just graduated from a local college. Green thumbs, genius planting strategies, and an undeniably charming persona, Basil turns out to be more than just Herb’s aid on the farm.

Can this unexpected countryside retreat help Herb find more than just a new career? Perhaps something slightly more aromatic and intoxicating –
