The Triumph of Andrea — Katherine Sargent

She was a spirited, beautiful woman, and she wanted a life and love of her own.

In an age when ladies fluttered fans and fainted, Andrea was daring, stubborn and courageous. The day her father learned about her conduct during the London season, he locked her up and went to find her a local suitor to marry.

But Andrea escaped and fled back to London into the arms of the dark and brooding Arthur Pelham -- an ardent rebel determined to change England of the 1840s. Together they embarked on a dangerous course.

A romantic saga of an exciting era and of the improbable lovers -- Andrea and Arthur -- who lived recklessly for their ideals and thrived on their passion for one another.
