The Cost of Freedom (Paperback)

In 1892 Georgia, twenty-two-year-old outlaw Braxton Hughes survives by any means necessary.

After years of surviving alone, Braxton is approached by Grimsby Willowsbottom, a British outlaw with a bloody past and a promise of one life-changing score. Alongside Cosmo Phillips, a sharp but wounded fifteen-year-old orphan, the three form a shaky crew built on desperation, greed, and each chasing their idea of freedom.

But when a bank robbery in Des Roy spirals into betrayal, bloodshed, and a manhunt, Braxton is forced to face the cost of the life he chose. With Sheriff Clifford Leslie closing in, old sins rising from the dirt, and a shadowy figure haunting his every step, Braxton's search for freedom becomes something darker.

The Cost of Freedom is a Western crime tragedy about outlaws, found family, guilt, betrayal, and the terrible price of running from who you are.
