A few months ago I shared the cover for Heroes, Holidays, and Hope Vol. 4, a charity anthology that I’m so excited to be participating in this winter. This anthology will come out December 6, 2026 and is up for preorder. My romance in this anthology, The Last Outlaw, is a brand new novella in my Kingsmill Courtships series, and today I want to share the cover for that new story.
The Last Outlaw
One last fight for freedom. One last chance to win her love.
Former Marine Damian Fawkes has spent his life on the wrong side of Kingsmill. An outlaw motorcycle club president with a dangerous past and too many regrets, he knows better than to believe he belongs in the small Virginia mountain town or with the woman he once loved.
Pediatric speech therapist Tess has spent years putting her family back together and building a life for herself and her young sister. The last thing she needs is Damian complicating it. Especially when trouble from his past follows him home.
But when a Halloween celebration puts Tess and the children she loves in danger, Damian will do whatever it takes to protect them, even if it means confronting the man he used to be.
Because in Kingsmill, the past never stays buried. And sometimes the last outlaw is the one who finally finds his way home.
Heroes, Holidays, and Hope Vol. 4
Sacrifice. Valor. Patriotism.
They fought courageously on the battlefield. Now they’re fighting for love.
We are a group of Veterans and Veterans’ family members who are also bestselling and award-winning romance authors! We put our group together to publish a yearly limited edition, military holiday romance collection that also supports military / veteran related charities.
We are back with our 4th Volume that supports The Warrior Dog Foundation. They transition our country’s working K9s from an operational environment into retirement. Founded by a former Navy SEAL, they provide mental and physical rehabilitation, and rehoming options to Military Working Dogs (MWD), Contract Working Dogs (CWD) and Law Enforcement K9s that otherwise would be euthanized.
The stories in Volume 4 are contemporary military romances, taking place over the holidays during the cold weather months. Various tropes and steam levels are part of this “must have” collection and it’s only available for 6 months after launch day, then it’s gone for good as we prepare for Volume 5!
