King's Bane
About this ebook
Chained in the dungeon of an island fortress, the spoiled young aristocrat Vaden Toldar is being held as bait. The Lasomin navy hopes to lure the pirate captains to their doom—including Vaden's sister, Captain Melandra Toldar. Most of the captives are already dead, and Vaden is losing hope. But when the colorful pirate Captain Oulin Masoun of the Radical comes to rescue one of his crew, Vaden finds more than simple hope. Captain Oulin Masoun is a man of great passion, who has always tried to "fix" the wounded and broken, and Vaden is certainly that. Oulin is determined not to fall into that trap again, but Vaden proves impossible to resist with his sweetness, vulnerability, and growing determination. But they may not have a choice. Vaden is caught between his warring family—his pirate captain sister and his brother, an admiral in the Lasomin navy set to burn the pirate port of Tarnton to the ground. And Oulin is torn between defending his brethren and the man he's come to love…
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, My Name is Aelida a 4-part series, (a 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), 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.
Now with over 25 titles in the genre, 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!
