The Forgotten Debutante (9) (Cotillion Ball Saga) - Softcover
Don't miss the touching conclusion to the Cotillion Ball Saga!
In 1863, America is war-weary. Fifteen-year-old Saffron Fitzpatrick, whose teenage years have been spent mourning the dead rather than dancing at her debutante ball, just wants to visit her beloved horse after being housebound due to the draft riots. A chance meeting with soldier Ezekiel Boone changes everything.
Three years ago, Ezekiel ran away with his older brothers to join the war effort, welcoming the chance for adventure. But when all four of his brothers die at Chancellorsville, he retreats home, despondent and depending on the kindness of strangers, like Saffron, who help him on the journey. They share a wild ride and a breathless kiss, parting with fond memories.
Fate reunites the couple three years later, and their former attraction rekindles as they discover unexpected common ground and begin to build a relationship. But though the war is over, a future together may still elude them...especially if Saffron's older, protective brother and the U.S. Army have anything to say about it.

Review:
Ms Lower deftly uncovers the human ache of war and its aftermath. Historical events weave in and out of Saffron and Ezekiel's story subtly while profoundly educating readers. It's gritty history with a very sweet touch. Ind'Tale Magazine
"If the Civil War is what you look for in a historical, then hopefully you'll find plenty to enjoy in this book and the series as a whole." Book Gannett
"Well - if you are a fan of Gone with the Wind, then you will love this story."
While this story is the ninth in a series, it stands alone well as Ms. Lower explains everything very clearly. Fans of historical romance might want to give The Forgotten Debutante a try. Long & Short Reviews
