Used book – A Burning Silence, Anna Adams, Françoise Fouche

"Why did I marry Sophie? Because she's carrying our baby. I promised, so there was no question of backing out." Did she hear correctly? In shock, hidden behind a door, Sophie wondered if it was really Ian who had just uttered that sentence. Ian, for whom she had immediately felt a passionate attraction, who until then seemed to share the same irresistible desire. Ian, whom she had just married at the risk of offending her entire family. How could he betray her like this, the ceremony barely over? True, he had never said "I love you," but she had attributed that silence to modesty... Suddenly, she couldn't stop a sob from betraying her presence. A few feet away, Ian turned around, horrified: "Sophie?" he whispered in a strangled voice. "What are you doing... here?"
