South Carolinian librarian Dixie LaPage travels to England to look over her recent inheritance, the Orchard House in Bringham. Dixie hopes the time in England will help her recover form the death of her grandmother and perhaps learn more about the Underwood side of her ancestors, especially since her great aunts whom she never met bequeathed the old cottage to her.

However, her idyll time is disturbed as her English family's solicitor Sebastian Caughliegh wants to obtain the secrets of the Underwoods. Sebastian, a head of a local coven, knows that Dixie's great aunts used Wicca powers to heal, but than utilized more mundane powers to blackmail their patients. He will kill anyone, including Dixie, to obtain those secrets.

Vampire Kit Marlowe shocks even himself when he finds the mortal American so appealing. He becomes her protector from Sebastian and his witches. However, Dixie not only reciprocates Kit's feelings, she tries to keep him safe from the coven. If they survive the local witches, will their love endure too? Kiss Me Forever is a supernatural romance.
