Kyla and Jefferson Blake count their 16 years together as a wonderful blessing from God. Their marriage is passionate, their daughter is a joy, Jefferson's medial career is prospering and they have loyal friends.
Kyla knows her newly divorced and lifelong friend, Jasmine, is desperately unhappy and no amount of prayer or encouragement seems to help. But what Kyla doesn't know is that Jasmine has a plan to move her life forward with the type of man she feels she should have married in the first place.
A man like Jefferson.
Alexis Ward, Kyla's, best friend, is single and successful and willing to wait for the right man for all the right reasons. But, when "Mr. Right," Dr. Brian Lewis, finally appears she finds herself facing a new challenge. Does she really have to walk away from what she believes in order to have a man in her life?
As people who love God, Kyla, Jefferson and Alexis discover, each in their own way, what happens when they truly allow God to be first in their relationships.
Full of contemporary characters who struggle to keep their strength, friendships and daily lives framed by the Word of God, Temptation is a novel no reader will soon forget.

Review from the reviewer for the Dallas Morning News....
Closing the pages to TEMPTATION...is like saying goodbye to your best friend. Kyla and Jefferson Blake have an idyllic life as upper-middle class African Americans. Their life is filled with activities associated with work, community leadership and rearing their precocious daughter, Nicole. Then tragedy strikes in the form of betrayal and the life they knew and loved is forever changed. The story of Kyla and Jefferson is as old as Adam and Eve. In fact, that is what makes this book so special and in the opinion of this critic, unique. Murray has written a Christian novel complete with scripture references and a road map for using that Christianity as a normal part of daily life. She succeeds in making readers so closely identify with her characters' approach to life that regardless of the reader's faith, the understanding of what faith can add to one's life is a message that sticks even when one finishes the book. Murray's approach is different. The characters so thoroughly live their faith that when they quote scripture, it sounds natural. This is an outstanding first-time effort. Overall, Murray gives us a wonderful story that offers something for everyone, regardless of their faith.
Kyla and and her husband, Jefferson, discover the importance of God's love after Kyla's friend, Jasmine, decides to seduce Jefferson.
