About this ebook

They have one chance at love in an unforgiving sea...


Azai is sailing home with a secret treaty to avoid a war when his ship is destroyed by the mer, a strange, intelligent race living beneath the waves. The diplomat awakens naked on the beach, abandoned on a tropical island far from the shipping lanes and any hope of rescue. He soon discovers the island is not deserted, and he is far from safe. A mysterious stranger shares the jungle with him. Knissic is powerful, intense, and able to communicate with the mer. On the night of the full moon, his inhuman blue eyes gleam when he claims Azai with one word: "Mine."


But Azai soon learns there are two sides to the enigmatic man. One is the dangerous, powerful, commanding side of Knissic when his half-blood rises during the full moon. The other is a kind and caring but lonely man who freely shares his food and shelter with Azai. Knissic has a deep connection to the mer, and the mer are far different than Azai ever imagined. Soon Azai is forced to question what he believes and what he feels—a mix of fear and friendship, duty and desire. But even as their relationship deepens, Azai knows he must return to his kingdom. A war looms on the horizon, and Azai might be the only man who can stop it. Only Knissic may not let him leave...

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!
