Scarlett gets several men, but can't keep one, and doesn't fine happiness in marriage and family.
But it's not so much the "gets a man" part as the "I only thought I was fulfilled before, but now I know Twue Happiness, and will abandon (or drastically scale back) my former life in service of my man". Nimisha's Ship was the worst offender, as I recall, and the one that made me stop reading her, at least for a while[1]. There are many where the strong independent woman gets a man without it being Twue Happiness and Ever So Much More Fulfilling than whatever she was doing before.
[1] I will probably eventually go back and catch up to where Todd started taking over Pern, and see if I like what he's doing any better. Cause he's a nice guy and all.
