Basil

About the book

"He constructed his life around his ambitions, but the carefree woman he lost was the only thing that ever felt genuine."

Basil Masters seemed to have it all - a thriving aviation software business, wonderful friends, and a loving girlfriend, Summer. He was prepared to ask for her hand in marriage, believing that life was absolutely perfect.

However, Summer had her doubts.

For two years, she endured Basil's friends (especially his female best friend) belittling her, ignored their patronizing comments, and made a genuine effort to help him see the issue. But when she witnessed inappropriate behavior between him and his best friend at a party, and he accused her of being insecure for feeling uneasy? Well, that was the last straw. She walked away.

It wasn't until Summer was no longer by his side that Basil finally understood. His friends? Toxic. His priorities? Misguided. And the woman he loved? Had left him.

Now, he's eliminating the negativity and fighting for the only person that truly matters. But Summer isn't going to make it easy - if Basil wants her back, he's going to have to prove himself.

Basil is featured in "Regretfully Yours," a series of short stories filled with heartbreak, redemption, and heroes who must humble themselves to find their happily ever after.
