Regex Find Text Between Previous Period and String

Example Text: "This is the beginning. First group of words. Second plain sentence. Another set of words."

Pattern logic: Match anything between the word "sentence" and the preceding period. The match may extend multiple lines.

Desired match: " Second plain "

Note: Match should not include quotation marks.
