Outcast

She was raised to follow the rules. Now she survives by breaking them. Trust Zeigler grew up Amish—the daughter of a bishop, taught that honesty was sacred and temptation a sin. She left that world behind long ago… and became something no one saw coming. A world-class jewel thief. Her name now makes headlines. Her crimes are elegant, daring, and increasingly dangerous. Each heist pushes her further from the girl she once was—and closer to a reckoning she can’t outrun. When a mysterious FBI agent steps into her path with an offer she never expected, Trust is forced to confront the impossible. Freedom. A clean slate. A chance to walk away before the next job costs her everything. But trust is a currency she can’t afford to spend lightly. As lines blur between manipulation and mercy, Trust must decide whether redemption is real—or just another trap designed to bring her down. Because walking away from a life of crime may be more dangerous than staying in it. Outcast is a gripping, clean suspense novel about identity, consequence, and the cost of second chances—where loyalty is fragile, danger is constant, and one wrong choice could end it all.
