Jennifer Lowery grew up reading romance novels in the back of
her math book and on the bus to school, and never wanted to be anything but a writer.
Her summers were spent sitting at the kitchen table with her sisters spinning tales
of romance and intrigue and always with a tall glass of ice tea at their side.

Today, Jennifer is living that dream and she couldn’t be happier
to share her passion with her readers. She loves everything there is about romance.
Her stories feature alpha heroes who meet their match with strong, independent heroines.
She believes that happily ever after is only the beginning of her stories. And the
road to that happy ending is paved with action, adventure, and romance. As her characters
find out when they face danger, overcome fears, and are forced to look deep within
themselves to discover love.

Jennifer lives in Michigan
with her husband and two children. When she isn’t writing she enjoys reading and
spending time with her family.
