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.

Summary

Book Title: A Loyal Heart
Book Author: Jody Hedlund
What do you like about this book:
"For the first time in my life, I'd met a man who neither feared me nor bowed to my wishes. And I liked it."
Lady Olivia is captivating, but extensive training with the sword has made her surprisingly lethal. When her castle residence is infiltrated by enemy soldiers, Olivia fights with strength and valor to protect her younger sister, only to admit that she is no match for Lord Pitt's captain of the guard. Taken captive, Olivia determines to find a way to escape, until a series of circumstances make her question the motives of those she was certain would have her best interests in mind.
Aldric Windsor, Baron of Hampton, is making amends for past mistakes. After losing his young wife, he fell into all sorts of disreputable activities, spiraling downward until Lord Pitt granted him a second chance. When commanded to kidnap the two lovely daughters of a suspected enemy of the crown; the Earl of Ulster, in order to bring the earl's traitorous activities to a halt, Aldric is stunned to discover unparalleled beauty disguised under the garb of a young soldier.
As Olivia yearns to earn the respect of her father and Aldric endeavors to regain his honor, two "overly stubborn" and "overly protective" souls find that "loyalty wasn't a birthright . . . it was earned".
