First novel by Stephen Michael Berberich
Second novel by Stephen Michael Berberich
Returning Army veterans Max Green and Melvin Watt, burdened with serious personal issues, turn to horticulture to rebuild their lives. They launch Maximum Green Design Co. with no cash and no prospective clients, but on cheap rental land on a rundown farm once owned by Lord Baltimore. Will they ever get to create outstanding gardens for the rich and pretentious in Annapolis? Despite serious injuries, crooked developers, property damage, lawsuits, and murder threats, they can foresee prestigious projects within reach from a disgraced literary professor masquerading as a landscape architect. Still, their most unlikely client, the beautiful French-American fashion heiress Louisa Fontaine could determine the fate of their ragtag venture at her Chesapeake Bay waterfront estate, or die trying.
