When Laev T'Hawthorn chose the wrong woman as his Heart Mate
and brought her into his family, she pretended to be his
true mate to gain the position in society. After the death
of his faithless wife and his father he learned she had
stolen valuable items from the Hawthorn Residence and given
them away to her family and friends, even the heart gift
Laev had made for his true Heart Mate, whomever she was. He
is determined to find every item his late wife took from his
family and restore them to their rightful place, especially
his heart gift. He knows his true Heart Mate is out there
somewhere but has no interest in finding her. The last thing
he needs is a new wife while he is still reeling from the
behavior of the woman he married.
Camellia Darjeeling has been on her own family-wise since
she was in her teens. Her mother died long ago, but her
father and uncle remain a constant danger to her and her
artist brother. She has fought her way from the depths of
poverty to become the owner of two very successful
businesses, making her a target for their depredations once
more. Her uncle can gain access any home no matter what lock
or security system is put into place and his flair for
sniffing out the location of any valuables means nothing in
Camellia's home is safe. Camellia knows who her Heart Mate
is, has known for years but with him married to another the
channel of connection they share was just one more avenue to
pain, one more proof that there is no man whom she can
trust. Even now that her Heart Mate is free of the woman's
clutches she has no interest in seeking him out and fears
any bonding between them, but fate seems to have another
plan in store.
As her fans have come to expect, Robin D. Owens has created
another solid, joyful entry in her Celta series. I am more
than eager to read each new book as it is published and have
never been disappointed. They provide escape and a glimpse
into one of the best-crafted worlds in the paranormal genre.
HEART SEARCH is book ten in the Celta series, and moves
fifteen years ahead in the over arching story line to cover
the next generation of Celtans, the one beyond of those
whose stories have previously been told. I can hardly wait
to see what the future brings in one of my all-time favorite
series of books.
Latest in the long-running series from the award-winning author of Heart Journey. Noble Laev T'Hawthorne must rebuild his life after marrying a woman he believed was his HeartMate, only to fall victim to her greed. Abandoned at fifteen, Camellia Darjeeling values her independence above all-even as her father and uncle emotionally scourge her and extort money. For Camellia, trusting men, even her HeartMate, is too risky. When Laev and Camellia meet, they refuse to acknowledge that they are true HeartMates. But their destiny cannot be avoided...
