Heart Choice (Celta's HeartMates, Book 4) - Softcover

With her mystical Celta novels, RITA award-winning author Robin D. Owens built a world where psychic talents thrive and desires flourish. Now, she returns with a tale of heart, healing, and the meaning of family...

Due to a genetic disorder, Straif Blackthorne is the last of his line. Determined to rebuild his heritage and protect future generations of Blackthornes from the disease, he works tirelessly to find a cure. Nothing else matters to him...until he meets Mitchella Clover...

But Mitchella is not a woman Straif can build a family with, for she is unable to bear children. Unwilling to let his bloodline fail, Straif refuses to pursue his feelings. Mitchella knows that a family is founded on love, not blood, but unless Straif sees this, they cannot be together, no matter how much they desire it. Only when an unforeseen tragedy threatens to overshadow them do they realize what truly matters—and what they truly mean to each other...
