Gideon's Bargain
“Sarah Spencer Marsh, she reminded herself, her skin chilling at the thought. A married woman now, bought and paid for. She hoped her father would be happy with her price.

His presence, a thing so palpable and forceful she thought she might reach out and trace its shape with her hands, unnerved her. She stepped forward."Closer, madam. I wish to look at what my thirty thousand pounds have bought me."She raised her chin. "Do you? You did not look at the wedding ceremony."
