Out of the Darkness

by J. C. Owens

Overview

Can a heart learn more than just violence?

Enzo is "the Martinelli," the head of the Martinelli family drug empire. He has known very little softness in his life, only the love of his younger brother and his niece. But when fate leads him to rescue a brutalized young man, he finds he cannot let the young man go without trying to help him. It's his chance to do something good for someone who desperately deserves it, a distraction from the mafia life or murder and intrigue. But he wishes the submissive young man would quit fawning and calling him "master." While he'd love to take the young man up on his sexual offers, Enzo's tastes run to the darker side, and that's the last thing the young man needs.

Chase Connors hasn't known love in a long time, maybe never. As a slave to a sadistic master, he's learned to get what he needs with sex. He doesn't understand why this new "master" has been so generous--bringing him to live at Tanglewood, his vast family estate, sending him to college, and showing him affection--when to everyone else he's hard and distant. The only way Chase knows to thank him is with his body--but Enzo appears to be straight, if his pregnant girl friend is any indication. But when Chase sees Enzo kissing another man, he knows he has a chance to win over the dominant Enzo. Seeing his chance, he stalks Enzo on his own turf--a nightclub called Dark Whispers--and gives Enzo a show he simply cannot refuse. Until someone else comes gunning for the Martinelli, and a horrible explosion destroys everything...

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 have written over twenty books, but most of them will never see the light of day. Due to various friends urging, I realized that I should share some of these.

I now realize that I actually have stories to tell and I want to share them.

I live in Alberta, Canada, a truly beautiful place. I am grateful that I was fortunate to be born here, to know peace and prosperity in my culture. So many do not have that.

My life has been full, not perhaps with successes as today’s world expects, but with so many, many experiences.

I have two sons, very large sons. My eldest is 6'4" and the youngest 6'7". They have been my life and it is wonderful to see them on their own paths, beginning their own lives. They are my strength and my pride and now I have my almost daughter in law, Kim to help keep "the boys" in line.
My partner, John, is the rock I bounce my ideas off of. He is the best of friends and a true confidante. Somehow he puts up with such a chaotic household...and ferrets. Truly an adaptable man!

So there you have it, my life in a nutshell!

I hope you enjoy my writing. It has been such an experience writing them all and they are such a reflection of my state of mind that it is intensely personal to share.
