Victoria Christopher Murray introduced Jasmine Cox Larson Bush in Temptation (1997), the novel that launched her writing career. The series picks up nearly a decade later with A Sin and a Shame (2006) and continues through Too Little, Too Late (2008), Lady Jasmine (2009), Sins of the Mother (2010), Scandalous (2012), and The Aftermath (2017). Across these seven books, Jasmine’s schemes, regrets, and spiritual struggles drive the story forward.
What makes the series work is Jasmine herself. She is flawed, ambitious, and often her own worst enemy, which gives Murray room to write about redemption without making it feel simple. The twenty-year span between Temptation and The Aftermath means longtime readers have watched the character grow (and stumble) over a considerable stretch of real time.
