Description de l’éditeur
From the author of The Personal Librarian and A Sin and a Shame, Victoria Christopher Murray returns to Jasmine Larson Bush and her devious ways in this tale of two marriages—each threatened by lies and betrayal.
She took marriage vows to be honest and true, but Jasmine's still hiding secrets to keep her husband, Minister Hosea Bush, by her side. When Hosea's ex-fiancée, Natasia, suddenly appears in New York, Jasmine knows it's not a coincidence. A former man stealer herself, Jasmine is very aware of Natasia's motives—even if Hosea is not.
Complicating Jasmine's life is the secret she's kept from her baby's daddy. Luckily for her, Brian Lewis has problems of his own. His wife, Alexis, is convinced he's cheating on her—but Brian's real betrayal is much worse. Revealing the truth to his wife could lead him back to the biggest mistake of his life—Jasmine.
Two marriages are in desperate jeopardy. Will Jasmine be able to scheme to save her own? Or will she have to choose between protecting her past and compromising her future? Even if Jasmine and Brian find the courage to stop the lies, it may be too little, too late...
PUBLISHERS WEEKLY
Juicy Jasmine Larson Bush returns from Murray's Temptation and A Sin and A Shame a reformed homewrecker. The Manhattan wife and mom has gained a few pounds, and worries about secrets she's been keeping from her husband, Minister Hosea Bush. He already knows her daughter Jacquie is another man's baby, but he doesn't know Jasmine's real age, or about her first marriage. After they renew their wedding vows Hosea heads to Jasmine's former stomping ground, L.A., to take his TV show, Bring It On, on location. After learning Hosea's ex-fiancee, an NBC producer, is coming, too, Jasmine goes along, putting her L.A.-based secrets at risk of accidental discovery. Revelations are forthcoming for all, including Jacquie's unaware birth father, Dr. Brian Lewis. Murray efficiently illustrates the importance of honesty and trust in marriage, and manages to contain Jasmine's outrageousness within the context of Christian faith.
