The Ladies of Beverly Hills — Sharleen Cooper Cohen

Four women are linked by a passion for the same man, Belson McKintridge, a legendary
screen idol and notorious womanizer. McKintridge risks everything for one desperate,
international scam, setting forces in motion that will change the ladies' exotic
world forever. In Beverly Hills, nearly everything and everyone is for sale.


Phyllis McKintridge, the beautiful daughter of Felix Anhalt, a wealthy real estate
magnate, is married to Belson's grandson, Peter. Peter is heir to the fabulous
McKintridge estate that includes thousands of acres of choice Beverly Hills property,
several houses, a golf course and a huge staff of servants. But Phyllis must learn the
painful cost of love and how fleeting her happiness can be in the face of much
stronger forces.


Marla Gilbert is not content to stay home with her two children and wonders
if it's truly her husband's business that keeps him away so much. When she throws herself
into a new career as an interior designer, it opens up avenues of fulfillment she did not
associate with the business world.


Vicky Feinstein is a novelist, struggling desperately to be accepted by the right people.
She grew up on the wrong side of the tracks in the Beverly Hills and fights her own needs
and desires in an attempt to get what she thinks she wants. Kept on the outside by
the powerful Belson McKintridge and the vindictive Leslie Paxton Winokur, she claws her
way until she gains entry into their exclusive inner sanctum, only to discover it is
rotten to the core.


Leslie Paxton Winokur used her talent and fierce ambition to escape her life in a small
Texas town and become the top interior designer in Beverly Hills. But her many secrets
and strong desire for revenge finally destroy her only chance to have what she really craves.


Here in this golden lotus land of glamour, sensuality and seduction, these four women share a rivalry
and drama that no other playground of the rich and famous can match. And no pleasure
or passion can compare to the sweetness of revenge against Belson McKintridge.
