Lover's Talisman
by Ashleigh Raine

Welcome to Talisman Bay, where all hell breaks loose on a daily basis, especially when you fall in love.

For twelve years Stephan Rashleigh has lived in the shadows, patrolling the city streets as leader of the Talisman Bay Shadow Walkers. The danger of his world leaves no room for a woman in his life. Until now. It should have been easy—rescue Mariah, then let her go. Except once she's in his arms, he can't walk away. Vibrant, breathing life into him, she makes him feel again.

Mariah DeSilva isn't interested in falling in love, even with the gorgeous hero who rescued her from a brutal attack. When her best friend is kidnapped, she turns to the only man she can trust to help. The more time she spends with Stephan, the less she can hide her growing feelings for him. There's so much more between them than an explosive romp between the sheets, against the wall and everywhere in between.

As they search for Mariah's missing friend, a sinister evil is revealed, someone who's been watching, waiting for Stephan to reveal his greatest vulnerability—falling in love. This enemy will stop at nothing to wipe out the Shadow Walkers and claim Mariah for his own.

This book has been previously published but was revised and re-edited for Samhain Publishing.



Ashleigh Raine's Bio

Sometimes two people meet, become good friends, and share a lot in common. When you're really lucky, you meet someone who understands you, who thinks like you, who can finish your sentences for you, and together the both of you can create whole new worlds.

Ashleigh Raine is the pen name for two best friends, Jennifer and Lisa, who share a passion for strong alpha males that succumb to the women they fall in love with. These two met in junior high where they were band geeks (but they swear they really were cool...they were percussionists after all!) Yet love of the arts didn't end with band. By high school, the two had a small following of fans for their stories and the characters they created... characters that would become the inspiration for their Talisman Bay series. They want to thank those fans for their continued support and interest. They couldn't have done it without them!

Both Lisa and Jennifer are married to their soul mates, who are their best support and inspiration. As Ashleigh Raine, this duo has many stories to tell, as their collective mind never stops creating fantasies that must be written down. They write larger than life stories, with adventures, hot sex, peril, hot sex, mystery, and more hot sex...but most assuredly they have a happy ending, usually with hot sex. This duo are glad to have found their niche in writing erotic romances.
