It isn't wrong to want passion in a relationship. It isn't against the rules to fight for the one you love either. All is fair in love and war and charming young Sally Brooks' love life was no exception. Her relationship with Edward was at a stand-still and she wasn't ready to throw in the towel, so she did what any "good woman" would.
She went all in and put her cards on the table. But not every good hand is a sure thing and Sally soon finds out what that means.
