Description
She walked away from perfection. He saw the real her, and stayed.
Emerson Sinclair had it all… on paper. The flawless husband. The picture-perfect life. The Southern charm. But behind the polished facade was a woman quietly unraveling—lonely, unfulfilled, and aching for something real.
One bold move changes everything.
Leaving behind the life she was told to want, Emerson escapes to her late grandmother’s cabin in the Georgia mountains with no plan and no safety net. Just space to breathe, to break, and to begin again.
Then comes Sam Sterling. Steady, grounded, and protective in a way that makes her feel seen instead of small. He doesn’t ask her to perform, he simply stays. And as their quiet bond deepens into something fierce and life-altering, Emerson starts to believe that maybe love was never meant to look perfect… it was meant to feel true.
But when life throws a devastating blow, everything is put to the test. To keep the future she’s finally dared to want, Emerson will have to fight—not just for love, but for herself.
Where Loyalty Lies is a raw, immersive romance about healing, growth, and choosing the kind of love that doesn’t flinch when things get hard. For readers who crave emotional depth, powerful character arcs, and stories that linger long after the last page.

Grateful to have had the chance to read this incredible story! Where Loyalty Lies follows Emerson, our FMC, as she escapes a years long loveless marriage and a lifetime of not feeling like she can measure up to those who should love her regardless…. We get to follow along as Emerson finds herself and her new freedom - she never guessed that she might find something else… or someone else. But when the right person appears even at the wrong time - you can’t pass that up. Emerson is such a strong character and I loved getting to watch her discover that for herself. The little lakeside town of Tunbridge and Emerald Lake itself were so dreamy and picturesque - I wish I could visit myself! This was such an emotional and beautiful story of self discovery, healing, and so much more.

oh this book was hitting different. and what an emotional gutter punch at times but emotional lifting at others.
love is shown in all its glory here and Elle has exquisite writing skills that make this story come alive.as a reader i was invested and i was connected to the characters so much that i really cared about what was happening for them and then what would happen to them even past the ending of the book.
Emerson has me rooting for her from the very beginning. the situation she is stuck in filled me with so much pain for her. from her marriage to her other family this woman deserved so much more. when she found the bravery to leave it all behind i was her number one cheerleader. and who is there, ohhhhhhhhh who is there but our Sam( yes he is "our" Sam now because hes just lovely). he is there for Emerson and will do anything to be there for her. i felt lucky to read about these two. i felt lucky to have such beautiful writing of such a wonderful love. i felt lucky that i got to love this book.
i love how Elle gave us a story of love and people with no apologies for who they were. it was true, it was immersive, it was beautiful.
i loved this book and cant quite get over just how much i implore anyone to read it. you wont regret a second of it. the only bad thing about it is the loss you feel when its over.
