Away in a Manger
اس ای بک کے بارے میں
A storm is headed toward the Poplar Ridge Ranch on Christmas Eve. But for Nathan, the storm has already arrived. His relationship with Malcolm, the man he's loved for years, is under threatening skies and a blizzard chill. Malcolm is a city boy, and he's always felt restless on the ranch. Nathan has done all he can to make Mal happy, but he can't escape the fear that their differences are slowly tearing them apart. As Nathan rides off to tend to an injured horse, he knows a turning point is coming fast. He feels helpless to save a relationship that means everything to him, and he knows time is running out.
Malcolm feels restless and doesn't know why. Nathan has done everything to make his life here on the ranch a good one, to make a home for them both. Yet, it doesn't seem to be enough for his creative soul. Maybe sometimes love isn't enough. But when he learns his nephew has gone missing, thrown out by his mother for being gay, Mal fears for the boy's safety. Especially since he might be making his way to the isolated ranch with the winter storm rushing down on them. But as the storm hits, his worries deepen. Nathan hasn't returned from the upper pasture either...only his ornery horse, Nutter, has come back with an empty saddle. Now it will take a holiday miracle to show two men that everything they are, everything they need, is tied up in a love that deserves a second chance.
Reader note: Previously released. Revised and updated. Contains male male contemporary romance themes.

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!
