Bank Heist at St George Maelyn Bjork

More than three years before, leaders of the FLDS colony abandoned three teenage boys in St. George, Utah, to fend for themselves. Even though they were in foster care for a time, they struggled financially. In desperation, the oldest boy, Matt, comes up with a clever plan to rob a local bank, and they are successful. At the time of the robbery, an FLDS woman, Jasmine Jensen, and her son are in the bank. She is on an errand for her ailing husband, Heber. Jasmine's son, Langdon, suggests that he knows one of the robbers. Investigating the robbery are FBI agent Dan Forester and an officer of the St. George PD, Maggie O'Donnell. They meet, and there is an instant attraction between them. As the health of Heber, Jasmine's husband, worsens, she calls on Maggie for help with one of her children. Jasmine's older sister, Jenna, a runaway from the polygamous community sixteen years earlier, has returned to Utah. Jasmine, with Jenna's help, decides to try and escape from the FLDS community with her three children. Dan, a confirmed bachelor, and Maggie begin to date, and their attraction grows. But how can they be together when Dan lives and works in Las Vegas, 115 miles from St. George? Can Jasmine successfully escape the polygamous lifestyle?
