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

Book one in the Talisman Bay series.

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.

Warning, this title contains the following: Bondage and knife play (don’t worry, no one gets hurt). A fantasy ménage scene—two brothers loving one woman, yay! Magical orgasms. Pleasure sparks. Lots of demon killing, lots of cursing while killing demons, and even more sex (without the demons).

  1. Hot hunks and fiendish foes in a tantalizing tale…this kick-off for a new series held my attention from page one…the main focus is on high-octane action…The writing duo that is Ashleigh Raine has created a brave, new world that many fans of paranormal adventure and hot romance will want to visit again.

  2. 5 Angels! …hard to put down. Throughout all of it, I was anxiously waiting to see what would happen next…the story has no boring parts. Ashleigh Raine did a fantastic job, and I hope the greatness just keeps coming.

  3. Rating: 80
    The setting and mood of Lover’s Talisman are comparable to the movie Men In Black, which is to say that this story is playful and tongue-in-cheek instead of being dark and angst-ridden… this story is most entertaining…I have a good chuckle over some of the more playful scenes here that often poke fun at familiar and overused clichés in science-fiction action movies and TV shows.

  4. Ashleigh Raine has written one action packed paranormal with hot sex, incredible men, and a villain that will make you squirm in your seat…Mariah and Stephan scorch up the pages with their lovemaking even though they both think they will not have a future together… There is so much happening in LOVER’S TALISMAN that to mention everything would be a major spoiler. What I can tell you is that magic, lust, romance, and action make for a most excellent read by Ashleigh Raine, and I will be right there to read the next story in her new Talisman Bay series.
