How Twilight, Texas Began
Lori Wilde, a Texas native and romance fiction veteran, launched the Twilight, Texas series in 2009 with The Sweethearts’ Knitting Club. Inspired by the charm of small-town life, Wilde loosely based Twilight on Granbury, Texas, a place she once called home. Her goal was to craft a setting that felt like a warm hug—welcoming, nostalgic, and steeped in community spirit. The series grew from a single novel into a beloved saga, with each book weaving standalone tales of love that capture the magic of new beginnings.
The Heart of Twilight, Texas
The Twilight, Texas series, spanning 19 books by 2023, centers on the fictional town of Twilight, population 6,000, where romance is as much a part of the landscape as the town square’s twinkling lights. Key titles include The Sweethearts’ Knitting Club, where Flynn McGregor reconnects with her bad-boy high school sweetheart, Jesse Calloway, and The True Love Quilting Club, which follows Trixie Lynn Parks as she returns to Twilight and rekindles her romance with single dad Sam Cheek. Christmas at Twilight tackles heavier themes like domestic abuse and PTSD, pairing Delta Force operator Hutch with Meredith, a woman hiding from her past, while The Christmas Brides of Twilight wraps the series with Noelle Curry’s reunion with her teenage crush, Gil Thomas, during a festive double wedding.
The series shines through its themes of second chances, soulmate connections, and the healing power of community. Wilde’s Twilight is a quirky, tight-knit town where knitting clubs, cookie bakers, and holiday festivals set the stage for love stories that feel both timeless and fresh. Her characters—often facing past regrets or unexpected obstacles—find redemption and joy, making each novel a satisfying blend of emotional depth and lighthearted romance.
