PASSION'S FIRST EMBRACE Running to escape the lustful arms of a drunken sailor, alluring Jennie Lee found herself encased in the powerful grip of an unknown man -- a man whose tender caress ignited her desire, and whose smoky blue eyes captivated her very soul. Young and innocent, she allowed her body to rule her mind and was swept into a rush of breathless passion that slowly ebbed with the dawn...
ECSTASY'S FIRST CARESS Driven by the luscious memory of Jennie Lee's warm silken flesh, Marcus swore he'd find her when he discovered she had gone. He was bewitched by her loveliness, obsessed with the ecstasy she aroused. Never had he wanted, needed, a woman's gentle touch. Never had he possessed a beauty like Jennie Lee. And as he sailed the endless seas, tormented by rapture and rage, he vowed he would recapture his elusive, auburn-haired angel -- and together they would crest the waves of LOVE'S FIRST SURRENDER

Although Surrender does an excellent job of showing how dependent women in the 19th century were on men, Marcus and Jenny spend the book at cross-purposes with each other, and by the time they got on the same page, I no longer cared.
