Gaven: The Bonding
About this ebook
Gaven must come to terms with his new life bonded to Vlar, his eramon and trainer in both bed and battlefield. The one who would make him a man, a trained soldier worthy of his royal bloodline. But Gaven both hates and admires Vlar, who has trained many men in exactly the same fashion. Worse, he finds himself wanting more, wanting to mean something to Vlar far more than all those others. Something special and singular. He wants to understand the mystery of Vlar and his ruthless and powerful race, the Finnarians.
Vlar is a legend, highly skilled and merciless. He is the last of his kind that remained behind after the great wars, the others having returned to their distant lands far from humans. Vlar is a dangerous mystery, but a mystery Gaven is determined to reveal. Yet, the struggle is far from easy, and his old life has been completely destroyed. This new world and bond remains strange to Gaven, and the love between males is something that both fascinates and frightens him. He wants the same passion, and yet he yearns for so much more with the Finnarian who has claimed him. When Gaven is suddenly attacked and taken from Vlar, he must fight for his life and a return to everything he had once resisted and now so desperately loves.

About the author
Writing has always been of the utmost importance to me, often a means of expressing frustration, anger and grief during terrible times in my life. It was also there for the joys and triumphs, a faithful companion through it all that never failed me. I do indeed love to write and have over twenty books sitting idle in my computer, waiting… I started off writing under the name of J.C. McGuire with three historical books, My Name is Aelida Book 1 & 2, (a two part novel of Arthurian Briton and the strength of a woman in a world where men rule and her ancient bloodline is more important than her happiness. These books have been re-released as a four part series with Etopia Press, The Ascension, The Gloaming, The Conquered, The Triumph), and Shadow of the Sun, a very emotional novel of Alexander the Great and his lover Hephaistion. Done from Hephaistion’s viewpoint, (we all know that he dies in the end) it was the hardest thing I have ever written. I still get tears when I read it. I still love all of those books and actually read them as if someone else wrote them!
Shadow of the Sun got me into the male/male genre and I began to write under J.C. Owens. I enjoy writing of the beauty of men loving men, plus the conflict in what a person thinks they want, versus what they truly need to become themselves.
I love to hear from my readers and always appreciate suggestions and comments for future books. Sharing a love of reading and good, hot sensuality between men is always a cause for celebration!
