Publisher's Summary:
RITA Award-winning author Robin D. Owens' first Celta novella!
Celta, a place of magic, telepathic animal companions, and romance. Lost Heart, a story rife with hidden agendas and dangerous secrets.
Barton Clover, Chief of Security for his large and noble family, is deeply aware of his responsibilities. When two young relatives repudiate the family and later disappear, he's determined to find them and convince them to return. He has no time or inclination for love, but his family disapproves of his nothing-but-work life. They decree that he must visit a matchmaker or lose his position.
Enata Licorice, a respected librarian, has been doing research in a mysterious records vault and is finding odd blanks in her memory. Lonely, she yearns for a good husband and arranges a matchmaking session of her own.
It's love at first sight for Barton and Enata, but both are crucial members of their families. Clans who practice opposite lifestyles. And both families demand the couple's time and attention, causing strife.
While trying to resolve their issues, Barton discovers Enata's secret and they must work as a couple to resolve the puzzle that includes Barton's missing relatives - if they dare. And if they fail, more than their own lives are lost.

Here is the non-HeartMate Celta novella, for those Celtans who didn't have a HeartMate in this life but find rewarding love too!
The Celta HeartMate series are love stories. That is, primarily boy meets girl, they may or may not get along at first, but they work out their issues in an honorable fashion, get married, and live happily ever after.
I've been pleased that boys & girls matched as couples can appear thereafter in the stories. Sometimes the next book is about the next generation of Celtans. That is, this is an ongoing series and especially the couples most central to Celtan society can appear in the next book as part of the culture/the society in which younger Celtan boys and girls live. I always enjoy seeing them again, even in supporting roles.
This is the only romance series that I read. My other favorite science fiction/fantasy/alternate history series tend to include romance, but not as the primary plot.
What I have always liked best about the Celta HeartMate series is the telepathy between HeartMates (even before they've agreed to marry) and both the routine teleportation of those with enough Flair (magic) and also the telekinesis (powered again by Flair). And I like that they are on another planet, which their ancestors from Earth traveled to hundreds of years before, when persecuted on Earth for too much ESP (extrasensory perception, which evolved into powerful Flair). This culture also strongly believes in reincarnation so that if you don't have a HeartMate this time, you might in your next life.
One book in the series, in fact, is about a boy who not only has no Flair but his talent cancels Flair. [Anyone with Flair in his immediate vicinity finds that their Flair is temporarily suppressed. As soon as they move far enough away from him, their Flair is back to normal.] He falls for a girl with lots of Flair and they work it out.
And, I have to confess, this is by far the steamiest series I have ever read. But we are all adults here, even consenting adults. [No, this is NOT the series to suggest to young adult audiences. But that is OK.
