Summary
The first entry in Leslie Stewart's diary read, "Dear Diary: This morning I met the man I am going to marry". It was a simple, optimistic statement, without the slightest portent of the dramatic chain of events that was about to occur.
The Best Laid Plans tells the impassioned story of the beautiful and ambitious Leslie Stewart and the handsome Southern governor Oliver Russell. She learns that for some, men with power are the greatest aphrodisiac; he learns why hell has no fury like a woman scorned.
With the unexpected twists and turns that are the hallmark of his best-selling novels, Sidney Sheldon spins a tale of the collision course driven by two equally determined people. Oliver has a strategy to win the White House; Leslie has a scheme to make him wish he'd never been born. They both should have known that even the best-laid plans could go dangerously astray, with deadly consequences.
