title: Heart Dance
author: Owens, Robin D.
description: Dufleur Thyme knows that emotion has no place in scientific experiments, and she cannot allow distractions in her own surreptitious quest to redeem her father's time reversal studies. For Saille T'Willow, time is running out. He's the premier matchmaker of Celta, but has yet to start the family he yearns for. Knowing that Dufleur is his Heart- Mate, he sends out his HeartGift, hoping it will find its way to her and enable him to stake his claim.
  
  Little does Saille realize that Dufleur keeps receiving his HeartGift--and rejecting it. 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 descendent of her enemy as his HeartMate...
