Tate Kilbourn was Bunny Bergen's secret high school crush, but he had dimmed in her memory after leaving town 24 years ago. When he returns, she finds herself working alongside him in her new job as receptionist at the Rustic Woods Nature Center. Recovering financially and emotionally from a nasty divorce, Bunny really doesn't need to fall for Tate again. She has kids to think of and a boatload of insecurities to work on first. But gee, he sure did grow sexier with age...

The quiet and deeply private Tate barely knew Bunny was alive in high school, and now that he's back in Rustic Woods, he has too many reasons why he shouldn't act on his growing attraction to the gorgeous woman with the less-than-stellar reputation. Too many.

On the surface, Tate and Bunny appear to be an unlikely match. But, as Bunny knows all too well, appearances can be deceiving.

Kiss Me, Tate is the first book in the new Love in Rustic Woods Series, a romantic spin-off from Karen Cantwell's Barbara Marr Murder Mysteries. If you are a fan of Cantwell's zany, problem-prone protagonist, Barbara Marr, you'll remember loveable Bunny Bergen from the fun and hilarious mystery, Citizen Insane.
