Is lust a sin?
Tiffanie has lived a sheltered life in a very strict household with her pastor grandfather and her grandmother in Washington, D.C. But when she meets Damon, she falls for the successful entertainment businessman despite his history as a drug dealer. Everyone sees a bright future for the couple—yet when Tiffanie meets Trey, her lustful feelings leave her confused just days before her wedding.
Trey is Damon's childhood best friend with whom he built a successful drug business. But when the game got hot and Damon decided to leave, Trey stayed and continued to sell drugs until he was arrested and spent seven years in prison. Now he's out and able to attend the wedding. While Damon is thrilled to have Trey back and hopes to bring his best friend into his business, Trey has other plans. And in the end, there will only be one man standing...

Starred review from January 1, 2017
Murray, who won the NAACP award for her groundbreaking book Stand Your Ground (2015), launches her Seven Deadly Sins series with Lust. Tiffanie Cooper loves Damon King's looks, his charm, his kindness, and his anticipation of her every need. In fact, she loves everything about him, except their lackluster lovemaking. So when Damon's seductive, studly BFF Trey Taylor gets out of prison, Tiffanie is immediately drawn to his oh-so-sexy body. The problem is, Damon and Tiffanie are about to be married. Is lust reason enough for Tiffanie to leave her devoted fiance? Murray has penned hot, steamy scenes in which her protagonist's imagination runs wild, followed by the consequences of her realizing her dangerous dreams. A jarring twist at the end has the reader wondering who the good guys really are. Readers will be ready for more of Murray's promising series.(Reprinted with permission of Booklist, copyright 2017, American Library Association.)
