Copper Snake - Gloria H Giroux - Bog

In post-WWII San Diego, Ben Prescott, an unhappily married lawyer, begins an affair with Aly, a mysterious young woman whose beautiful face hides a dark, dangerous core. When their relationship ends badly, Aly begins a vicious campaign to destroy him and everything he holds dear. Ben doesn't know it, but her actions will have devastating impacts for decades to come.

As Ben tries to salvage what's left of his world, Aly aggressively pursues her dreams on her own terms. Her depraved lust for revenge cannot be sated by ruining Ben's life; Aly won't stop until generations of his family-including Zack and Alex, the two sons he had with Aly-pay as well. As she raises Ben's sons, even she has no idea that they may be the catalysts for her downfall as well as for the redemption of two families.
Passion, regret, hate, love, and vengeance that crisscross a continent for thirty years finally collide in a serpentine showdown between a woman who would stop at nothing to gain her desires and the men whose lives she has inexorably altered. Those who survive will have to redefine a future that no one could ever have foreseen.
