Sean Sutherland lives in the family castle above a small village in Scotland, where he is well-known by all the townspeople, despite the secrets he clutches to himself. Mourning still the loss of his beloved mother, Sean fears the imminent visit to the village of a celebrity romance author, as he perceives trouble coming to him. Sean believes that the interloper will catch his scent, and begin to pry into all his secrets. Meanwhile, the villagers call on him to stop an intruder approaching, whom they expect to be a vampire. Little do they realise the intruder is the very visitor they expect in the morning.

Bridget Sinclair arrives earlier than she expects, and is alarmed to find her cab won't carry her into the village. Instead, she has to walk most of the way, in a blinding storm.

She can't get entrance into the pub nor find the bed-and-breakfast, so she enters the church for shelter. There she encounters an odd but handsome man whose strange behaviour and insistence she leaves the village is astounding.

Twilight Kisses is a delightful and satisfying paranormal romance with intriguing and unexpected veins of paranormal elements woven in. Deep in rich descriptive background, the novel entices and enthralls its readers. The characters are fully delineated, even to many of the secondary ones. A strong-willed and independent heroine matched against a long-lived and determined hero with deep, dark secrets and vulnerabilities make for a tale to satisfy the tastes of most any reader. Kudos to author Marly Mathews for an excellent read which earns its place on the Keeper Shelf.
