You can’t put a price on love…

Zuri Maxwell isn’t happy. Her job is a grind, and money is always tight. Her boyfriend Stephon is the best part of life, but between his income as an artist and her commission-based paycheck, they are barely scraping by.

When Zuri meets a sleek entrepreneur eager to pick her brain, she jumps at the chance to talk business with someone who has everything she wants. As he wines and dines her, Zuri starts moving in elite circles, and she faces a crossroads: Will she give up the stable, loving life she knows for one that glitters, but may not be gold? - (Simon and Schuster)

Booklist Reviews

Zuri Maxwell has an appreciation for the finer things in life, but her day job in advertising doesn't support the luxury she craves. Her real passion is interior design, but until her artist boyfriend, Stephon, sells his paintings in a local Atlanta gallery, she is their main breadwinner. Into this financial uncertainty walks the wealthy, scripture-quoting entrepreneur Ms. Viv, who offers to be her mentor and encourages Zuri to be open to new opportunities. Soon enough, oddly fortuitous things begin to happen; Zuri meets worldly and dapper men who offer her everything she's ever wanted. Convinced that these are blessings from God, Zuri accepts them, reluctantly at first, but if she has to lie in order to embrace these "opportunities," then are they really blessings, or is she being tempted to sin? Another tantalizing morality tale about the price of ambition from award-winning author Murray, whose earlier books in the heart-pounding Seven Deadly Sins series, including Lust (2017) and Envy (2018), have been optioned by Lifetime for television movies. Expect increasing buzz as the series continues. Copyright 2019 Booklist Reviews.
