Edge of Freedom Greg Sparks

Nancy Owens, a New York City 9/11 widow, returning from her husband's memorial service is confronted by an influential mob boss' goons. Nancy learns she has two choices: come up with the money her husband owed or pay the consequences. Motivated by desperation and fear, she turns to robbing banks. The dire act yields more than the money she needs to pay off the lingering gambling debts; however, the high she experiences becomes an insatiable craving. Though, she pays off the debt, the boss realizes Nancy's unique talents could be used for his own profit. Forced to work for the mob, she succumbs to a new, dangerous life of crime. Encouraged by her estranged mother to date again, Nancy struggles to once again bring love and meaning back into her entangled life. Introduce Zach, a compassionate, gift giving, handsome man who tugs at the romantic strings of Nancy's heart, who wants to restore her faith in love. He is tortured by the feeling that she's hiding something from him. Nancy's secret career and aching loss for her husband forges a wall between them. Multiple life-threatening episodes prompt an abrupt halt to her life of crime. Although she no longer needs the money, fighting the addiction to the euphoric high of robbing banks proves impossible. She dives back into the frenzy-one job, fourteen million dollars, one last time. Will she succeed or will it all unravel? In Edge of Freedom, Greg Sparks tells an unexpected saga persevering through trial and tribulation in this Christian fiction thriller. The soaring tension and the dramatic conclusion strengthen and give creditability to an original and thought-provoking story.
