He’s taken her as his prisoner. But she’s holding his heart captive. In gaining their freedom, will they lose what matters most?
When Lady Olivia’s castle is besieged, she and her sister are taken captive and held for ransom by her father’s enemy, Lord Pitt. Loyalty to family means everything to Olivia. She’ll save her sister at any cost and do whatever her father asks—even if that means obeying his order to steal a sacred relic from her captor.
As Lord Pitt’s commander, Sir Aldric is in charge of the beautiful but feisty new prisoner. He has his hands full attempting to keep Lady Olivia out of trouble. When Lord Pitt throws her in the dungeon and threatens to hang her for stealing, Aldric conceives a plot to save Olivia’s life—betrothal to him.
Can Olivia give up the prestigious match her father has arranged with a wealthy marquess in order to marry a lowly knight like Aldric? And can Aldric move beyond his past mistakes to embrace love again? When loyalties are tested, they’re thrust into danger that could cost them their love and their lives.

A Loyal Heart is book #4 in An Uncertain Choice series by Jody Hedlund. Other books in the series include The Vow (#0.5), An Uncertain Choice (#1), A Daring Sacrifice (#2), and For Love and Honor (#3).
The minute I finished this book, I picked up the phone to call my book bestie. The conversation went something like this.
Me: So, I’m finished with A Loyal Heart
Fizzy: And?
Me: Well, there was some insta-love but…
Fizzy: But?
Me: I totally don’t care. I loved this book. When are you reading it? Have you read it yet? What?! You’re not reading it for another week or so? HOW COULD YOU?!
I LOVED this book. I think I said, “this one is my favorite!” with each installment of this collection. Each book was better and better. So, I have to say it again…this one may very well be my absolute favorite!
I love flawed characters that find redemption and Aldric (who we were introduced to in For Love and Honor) is a man who has made mistakes but is finding atonement.
I’m not quite sure how the author could squeeze another story out of the original plot. All of the knights have found love and this book is actually the story of a secondary character. But, I would love to see it continue. Maybe a spin-off? I mean, I’d love to know if Olivia’s brother is healed. Honestly, I don’t care how the author makes it happen…I just want this series to continue!
Do I recommend this series to others? Umm…duh! Read it. Read it now! I promise that you won’t regret it!
