Lady Jasmine (Touchstone Books) is my Featured Book of Color Pick of the Day. Written by the Essence magazine bestselling author, Victoria Christopher Murray. This story is about a scheming and conniving character named Jasmine Cox Larson Bush who is a preacher's wife but is more of a sinner than a saint!

The delightfully ambitious and manipulative Jasmine is determined to live on the straight and narrow as Lady Jasmine. But when Jasmine is blackmailed with a terrible truth from her past that she "forgot" to tell her preacher man husband more than just her marriage is in jeopardy. Now, she will stop at nothing to keep her deepest secrets from surfacing including murder. This book is perfect for fans of Kimberla Lawson Roby, ReShonda Tate Billingsley and anyone who is interested in the behind the scenes in Christianity, especially Black Gospel churches.

Murray is also the bestselling author of seven other novels and divides her time between Los Angeles and Washington, D.C. Murray is on a 12-city tour to promote Lady Jasmine. Please visit www.simonandschuster.com for tour details.
