Nature's Kiss: Book One of the Nature Series (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9781543262797)

Nature's Kiss is a Cape Cod romantic fantasy about change and transformation.

Faye Bloomberg is 36 and a high school English teacher on Cape Cod. She's had a lifelong passion for fantasy, but aside from playing pretend as a young girl with her friend Wanda and reading fantasy novels as an adult, her life has been rather ordinary. She does have a boyfriend, Drake Hershfeld, who is 42 and very hot, but also very practical and commitment phobic. He admits he likes Faye because she's low maintenance and also loves sex. They see each other on weekends and Faye has, up until now, accepted this "reasonable" arrangement.

Then Faye's life becomes entangled with one of her students, a 10th grader, previously home-schooled, named Ariella Cardona. Other students and even faculty have nicknames for Ariella such as, "The Dreamer," "Spooky Kabuki" and "Airy Fairy" because she dresses and acts like she's from another time and place. Ariella lives in the Punkhorn Forest in a 300 year old, fairy tale cottage with her actress/model/herbalist mother, Calista. Faye visits the cottage because she's worried about Ariella's future and wants to give her extra help, especially with a standardized test. Calista agrees to Faye providing help and even asks if Ariella can stay with Faye for a weekend while she, Calista, travels to California on movie business.

Faye is thrilled at the opportunity to be a surrogate mom. But the weekend turns into something strange and wonderful and Faye's life begins to transform into a real-life fantasy. She dreams about a beautiful green man, has over the top sex with Drake, and, with Ariella's guidance, begins to believe in Nature Spirits, even after she's almost seduced and then chased by a an evil Swarm. And that's just the beginning!
