Robin D. Owens continues her award-winning series with her sixth fascinating novel set on the faraway planet Celta. Your mind may think differently, but the rhythm of the Heart Dance can never be ignored...

Dufleur Thyme knows that emotion has no place in scientific experiments, and she cannot abide distractions in her own surreptitious quest to redeem her father's time reversal studies. For Saille T'Willow, time is running out-the premiere matchmaker of Celta, he himself has yet to HeartBond and form the family he yearns for. Knowing that Dufleur is his HeartMate, he has sent his HeartGift out to circulate, hoping it will find its way to her and enable him to make his claim.

Instead, Dufleur keeps tossing it out-she wants nothing to do with a Willow, the family that destroyed her father's good name. But Saille is determined, and the attraction between them is undeniable. When one of her experiments imperils Saille's position, Dufleur must make a choice-she can retreat to the solitude of her lab, or stand with the descendant of her enemy as his HeartMate...
