On the eve of her second passage, Lahsin Rosemary repudiates her marriage and flees her husband's residence. Eager to start a new life, Lahsin finds sanctuary in the FirstGrove. With its bespelled walls, FirstGrove lies hidden in Drudia City, only allowing those in need of solace and deep healing inside. Here Lahsin begins her recovery process. Given in marriage at age 14, Lahsin endured three years of abuse in the Yew Residence, until her second passage and 17th birthday gave her legal status as an adult. Even so, Lahsin is only too aware that her husband will never stop looking for her. Her evolving flair is vital to his family and they will move heaven and earth to find her.

Still reeling from the pain and humiliation of his recent divorce, Tinne Holly is welcomed at FirstGrove. If there was ever anyone in need of healing, it's Tinne. He's known for years that Lahsin is his HeartMate, but the law prevents him from revealing their connection. In truth, Tinne isn't sure he wants anything aside from friendship from Lahsin. Although he wants to protect her and guide her through her passage, Tinne is still too bruised from his last relationship to move on, even with his HeartMate.

The story of the second Holly Son, Tinne, and his HeartMate is finally here. HEART FATE is the inspiring story of lovers who are too long separated by tragedy and fate. Both have been injured and knocked about by life, but these are strong characters who look to their futures and refuse to be tethered by the past. Owen's Heart stories of Celta and its psychically flared population are some of the best paranormal romance novels around. Fans who've been reading the series from the start will be thrilled that it's time for Tinne's story. New readers won't have any trouble finding their footing in Celta, although knowledge of the various back stories and previous arcs, while not vital, will only increase your enjoyment of HEART FATE.
