The Mercenary's Bride
(The Knights of Brittany #3)
Brice Fitzwilliam is finally paid his due: awarded the title and lands of Thaxted, the warrior waits to claim his promised virgin bride!
But 19 year old Gillian of Thaxted will be no man's prize! She will not submit to the conquering knight's powerful physique, dark, piercing eyes or the bold way his arm drapes protectively over her at night….
Brice thought he would pleasure his new wife out of duty—but it's become a nightly pleasure of his own! Now he risks exposing a chink in his armor if he succumbs totally to his new bride….

The plot of this is better than the writing. The author head-hops a LOT, and some words are used incorrectly throughout (bespoke, for example, is not a fancy old fashioned way to say “spoke”). But I really liked Gillian, the protagonist, and the story of her family's strife was interesting.
Brice, the love interest, I found hilarious. Literally every time he even thinks about his wife he is suddenly walking around entirely consumed with nothing but his raging erection, that he can't control, that is just constantly throbbing with lust for this woman. Is he a grown man or 16 years old? His internal dialogue is genuinely 80% boners and tits.
Anyway, I finished it, weirdly written head-hopping be damned. And I'd probably try the author again, tbh. The plot was interesting enough to keep me reading.
