In Robin D. Owen's Heart Journey, we are shown the delicate courtship between a women who craves solitude and a man who needs the spotlight. Men are not allowed to "claim" their heartmate-it is the decision of the woman. In this case, a women who is well set in her ways and wants to claim her mate then head back to the frontier. Unfortunately, her heart mate is a well known rising actor who makes his living off being seen. He neither wants nor needs a heartmate in his life at this time.
Helena D'Elecampane (Del) has spent her life mapping the the unknown for the Great families of Druida. She prefers the solitude of the frontier, but when she discovers her heartmate she knows it's time to come home. As she is returning she is informed by an old lover that her family has tragically died in a fire and only her young cousin survived. That news just seems to tighten the noose around her neck, further delaying her return to the country.
Carasus (Raz) Cherry is the direct opposite of Del. Charismatic and sociable, he needs the applause and the limelight. When he and Del meet, the attraction is instantaneous. Their bodies already know what their minds will learn-they are heartmates. But both are stubborn. Neither wants to make the ultimate sacrifice-give their heart. When their families are plagued by a series of thefts that escalate into violence, Helena and Raz must look into the past to see their future.
