SOME DIE LIVING
by Lex Lander

SHE WAS A LETHAL WEAPON PACKAGED AS A DESIRABLE WOMAN

Dana Colburn’s ambitions know no limits and she is willing, even eager to exploit her looks and sexual allure to fulfill them. Of the three men in her life, only her lover has the money, the connections, and the lack of principles necessary to raise her to the pinnacle of power that she had craved ever since she learned that she was not cut out for marriage and motherhood.

Her husband, sincere but weak, and her step-brother, wealthy but amoral, try in their different ways to divert Dana back onto the path of rectitude. In doing so they find themselves in conflict with her lover, who will brook no interference and has the will and above all the means to crush any opposition.

In the midst of this clash of horns, the past returns to torment Dana and her step-brother who find themselves battling emotions that they thought had died with their teens.
