Sarah's Surrender (Novella) (2015)
“He held on to that truth. She had failed. She had not been willing to give herself without the promise of marriage. It had been a trap whether she meant it to be or not. And she might not remember her promise to seek a richer husband, but he had. It had been those words that finally drove him away.

You have admitted that you only sleep with me now because you are going to marry another man, a man you do not like, a man who I am sure you are marrying for money, a man you are prepared to let raise my child. How can you say I am the one who failed?”
Keeping her back to him, she walked to where her clothing still lay on the floor.MoreLess
