A wealthy noblewoman with a heart of gold, a wounded knight closed off to love, and the sacrifices for a chalice that can bring healing.
Lady Karina lives in a convent and expects to become a nun someday. When her wealthy father asks her to help his textile business become more successful by marrying one of the popular Knights of Brethren, Karina complies, ever the dutiful daughter.
During a royal quest to find the sacred chalice, Torvald is called home to save his family’s estate through an arranged marriage to a wealthy maiden. Although willing to do his duty, he’s vowed never to give his heart to anyone after watching his father suffer heartbreak over a woman.
As Torvald weds the kind and lovely Karina, he resists the pull of attraction to his bride. Even though Karina feels the sting of Torvald’s rejection, she chooses to love him unconditionally. As he resumes his search for the chalice and puts his life in jeopardy, Karina makes the ultimate sacrifice for him. Will he have the chance to love her in return before it’s too late?
The real story of the Holy Grail continues . . .

MY THOUGHTS.....
Jody Hedlund adds another tale to her Knights of Brethren series, and this may be the best story of all! A dashing knight who's vowed to never trust another woman enters into an arranged marriage with a young woman planning to become a nun and soon finds his life plan completely altered. How can he continue to resist someone who offers him such unconditional devotion?
Oh, how I loved both of these characters! Lady Karina is beautiful and wealthy, but it is her kindness that is like a magnet for Torvald. Hedlund uses the classic trope of 'a marriage of convenience' to add interest, and I was swept away by the compelling romance that evolves from their union. This is Christian fiction so there is nothing explicit but oh, my, the kisses are to die for! Enriched also has adventure, danger, and the continuing search for the Holy Grail, along with a light mystery surrounding Torvald's home.
If you're looking for heart-pounding adventure, heartfelt sentiments, and breathtaking romance, grab a copy of Enriched and prepare to be swept away!
I received an advanced copy from the author. There was no obligation for a positive review, and I am voluntarily sharing my thoughts.

My rating: 5 of 5 stars
Jody Hedlund is the best-selling author of over twenty historicals for both adults and teens and is the winner of numerous awards including the Christy, Carol, and Christian Book Award. She lives in central Michigan with her husband, five busy teens, and five spoiled cats.
