Driven to Distraction
by Ashleigh Raine

Dodging explosions, crashing cars, jumping off rooftops, and falling in love.

Up-and-coming stuntwoman Blaina Triton stops to help a sexy stranded stranger on the side of the road. Passion burns hotter than the asphalt beneath their feet, and they go back to his place for an anonymous carnal romp. Days later, she arrives on the set of her next feature film only to discover that the man she played out wicked-fun erotic fantasies with is also her boss, Jay Williams. Her work and play are on a thrilling crash course, until Jay makes it clear he never mixes business with pleasure.

Jay knows firsthand how losing focus can prove fatal, but around Blaina, his lust-ridden attention strays to her rather than staying on the job. In an effort to regain control, he offers an ultimatum—off set, their relationship is no-naughty-holds-barred, but on set, they have to be strictly professional.

Their clandestine rendezvous ignite as fiery as the movie’s onscreen explosions. As an unstoppable stunt team, they are flawless, until the strain of their secret relationship begins to tear them apart. Haunted by his tragic past, Jay has to make a decision. Walk away from the woman he loves, or allow himself to be driven to distraction.

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.
