Sweet Song of Love
A mountain of a man was Sir Richard Fitzhugh. Tall. Dark. Fearsome in every aspect. Formidable in battle. Yet Mellisynt of Tremont saw not the warrior but her wedded lord. A man of gentle compassion. Who could free her spirit--and blazingly awaken her long-slumbering desire!
What an enigma was Mellisynt of Tremont, Richard Fitzhugh declared! For beneath shapeless widow's weeds, his new-wed lady wife was a creature of boundless passion and generous soul. He'd made his brideclaim with a pledge of honor and an eye to ambition. But could she capture his very heart in her own campaign d'amour...?

Após a morte do marido idoso, lady Sophie é dada a outro homem que acabou de chegar das Cruzadas - insira muita briga e sexo.
Não é de todo ruim.
A bola fora ficou por conta da tradução que mudou o nome original da heroína de Mellisynt para Sophie arbitrariamente.

This story is about England, Brittany, etc., at an early time. I forced myself to finish the story even though it was boring and trite.
Here's the synopsis: young woman's very old husband dies (and leaves her with lots of money); she is "given" to a much younger man - a knight with little money; knight marries young woman, has lots of sex, they live happily ever after.
Mellisynt of Tremont is about 22 and has been cloistered (in the Tremont Castle) by her aging husband. He has also been a penny-pinching tyrant; when he dies, few tears are shed.
Soon after, Duke Geoffrey gives Mellisynt to Sir Richard FitzHugh, a fearsome knight-warrior. He is ambitious and sees Mellisynt only as a means of securing his future. However, Sir Richard doesn't reckon on his new wife. The story is about two individuals, coming from opposite backgrounds, who strive to make peace in their marriage and eventually fall in love.
Lovelace has a good grasp of the history of the times and adds it liberally. There's more than enough fighting for the reader; the times highlighted in this story were violence-prone and dangerous.
In 2001, this story was published as part of an anthology: DAUGHTERS OF DESTINY.
