Wild romance

Description:

"In 1852, on a steamer from France to England, Theresa Longworth met William Charles Yelverton, a soldier destined to become the Viscount of Avonmore. The flirtation soon blossomed into an affair and five years later they married secretly in Edinburgh. Then, that same summer, at Theresa's urging, they married again in Dublin - or did they? Yelverton then married another woman, and an abandoned Theresa found herself forced to prove the validity of her marraige in a series of scandalous and very public trials."--Back cover.
