Surrender the Seasons — Catherine Turney

With passion and courage they brought a great love to the Golden City of the West!

IT WAS A TIME OF PROMISES AND DREAMS...
when young Jack Taylor left his New York home to seek his fortune in the Golden Gate City...to find Lilly, who would tie him forever to San Francisco.

Lilly, who cloaked her exquisite dark beauty in shadows, who turned her vibrant, sensuous nature inward -- until Jack brought her to a sudden inescapable awakening.

Their love was dangerous, passionate, secretive -- ruled by Lilly's mysterious past with one of the richest, most powerful men in America...a past that would send Jack in search of another life apart from her...

Through the great blaze of the Chicago fire, the civilizing of the West, and the devastation of the San Francisco earthquake, their strange and haunting love would endure -- to rise again out of the ashes of past loves, to fulfill the promise of a dream.
