The 7 Deadly Sins series that inspired four Lifetime original movies continues with this unputdownable novel following mortgage broker Journee Alexander as she tries to escape the secrets of her past without losing all she has worked to build in the present.
Journee Alexander grew up believing that the only person she could depend on was herself. After being abandoned by her mother, burning bridges with friends, and narrowly escaping bad business dealings with her first mentor, her trust is hard to earn and harder to keep. But she has overcome all of that and now, as a successful mortgage broker at the top of her game in Houston's booming real estate market, she has every reason to be proud of her accomplishments. She achieved this massive success on her own—there's no need to put her trust in anyone else.

But when Journee starts receiving cryptic text messages from an unknown number threatening to destroy everything she has worked to build, she is out of her depth for the first time. Forced to consider accepting help from someone, Journee turns to the first man she loved, the one who got away. But old habits are hard to break and after trusting only her own instincts for so long, can she put her pride aside and accept advice from an old flame? Or should she put her trust in a brand-new love who is in sync with all that she wants to do?

Journee is forced to confront the secrets of her past, the old hurts that never seem to heal, and the fact that sometimes a meteoric rise is just the first step in a devastating fall that will change her life forever.

      In the propulsive fifth installment of her Seven Deadly Sins series, following Wrath (2021), Murray continues to deliver heart-pounding parables of the rise and fall of success-driven women and their ultimate redemption from sin. After her mother reluctantly gave her away to be raised by a Christian woman of means, Journee Alexander vowed to never speak to her mother again, even after her baby sister made contact and reunited their broken family. Despite her difficult childhood, Journee is proud that she is one of Houston's top real-estate brokers, but someone knows how she and her corrupt mentor earned their ill-gotten gains and is threatening revenge. Journee turns to her ex, Ethan, the best criminal defense attorney in Texas, and he advises her to lay low before the feds find out what she's been hiding, but she's compelled to discover who the culprit is. Could it be her new beau, or her ex-best friend, or her unethical mentor? Murray's fans will enjoy watching this compelling seven-part series unfold on A&E, as each installment has been optioned for an original Lifetime movie.
