I believe the answer is:

ann

I'm a little stuck... Click here to teach me more about this clue!

'her to heart' is the definition.
I can't tell whether this defines the answer.

'danny takes' is the wordplay.
'takes' indicates a hidden word (I've seen 'taking' mean this (the answer is carried or taken by the clue)).
'ANN' is hidden within 'danny'.

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for ann that I've seen before include "Lady's name" , "- - Jones, 1969 Wimbledon champion" , "eg Miss Widdecombe" , "woman" , "Girl" .)

I've seen this clue in The Globe and Mail.
