It seems that Sharon Fuller Nelson Harrelson lives her life as the heroine of an ongoing series of "bodice ripper" novels. Sharon would be an unlikely fictional character. The way she captivates and manipulates a number of married men is unbelievable. They seem to lose all sense of family responsibility and even decency as they marry this sexy woman who blissfully continues affair after affair. The one man she can't marry is just as captivated by her as the others, but can't seem to totally dump his wife. He is, however, willing to kill for her to keep her as his lover.
