Hello and welcome to the official website of romance author Becky Lower. I’m so glad you’ve stopped by.

The Cotillion Ball Series features the nine Fitzpatrick children who come of age during the decade leading up to the Civil War. Ginger is the first daughter to take part in the newest rage among New York’s elite society—the Cotillion Ball. The Reluctant Debutante depicts her journey through the high social season in 1855. Heather Fitzpatrick becomes eighteen in The Abolitionist’s Secret, set in 1856. The abolitionist movement begins to pit North versus South. She helps a young slave and her son to safety, but has to hide her involvement when she falls for a young military officer who is from a plantation in the south. Their brother, Basil Fitzpatrick, is living a life of privilege in St. Louis in 1856. He’s the owner of the branch of the family bank in this town that sits on the border of civilization. When he meets Temperance Jones and her family, who are bound for Oregon on a wagon train, in Banking on Temperance, he begins to question if his life is as fulfilling as it might be.

Travel back in time with me to a period when America was young, raw and exciting. And so were the men and women who shaped this country.

If history’s not your thing, you’ll be pleased to know my first contemporary, Blame It On The Brontes, will be released in May, 2013, by Soul Mate Publishing. All the women in the story are over forty, proving that love has no age limit. Stay tuned for more on this exciting genre.
