Mission Statement

We are romance authors who care about the future of this country and are inspired by fellow romance author Stacey Abrams to do what we can to preserve the right to vote. Democracy only thrives when every vote can be cast and counted, and we are fighting to help dismantle the legacy of voter suppression both in Georgia and across the country. All funds raised through our project will go to Fair Fight.

Previous Adventure: Romancing the Runoff

Alyssa Cole, Courtney Milan, and Kit Rocha (aka Bree & Donna) met while writing romance. They bonded over a shared love of protagonists who fight for a better world and stories filled with hope and triumph. In 2020 they pulled Romancing the Runoff together in twelve hours. With the help of the romance community, they raised $95,000 before the auction even started. They met their auction goal of $25k in 7 minutes, their expanded goal of $50k in 1 hour, and their stretch goal of $100k in 12 hours. The initial auction has raised a total of $498,000, including an epilogue to auction off an original, autographed copy of Rules of Engagement by Selena Montgomery aka Stacey Abrams... who donated it to them personally.
