This is the story of a woman scorned. When Leslie Stewart meets handsome governor of a southern state, Oliver Russell, she is convinced she will marry him. What follows is a story of revenge that leads from America's bastions of power to the world of newspaper publishing. I give this story a B+! It was a page-turner.
The first part of the book, I was reading along, just enjoying a what I thought was a fluff book, then a sentence grabs me and I had to finish it right then. This is one of the better Sidney Sheldons to me. Not very long, super easy to read. Anyone who has ever planned and plotted revenge on someone needs to read this book. Highly recommended.
