Larry King’s sister-in-law, Shannon Engemann, is described as being "devastated and furious" that the talk show icon has called off his divorce from her older sister and seventh wife Shawn Southwick, RadarOnline.com is exclusively reporting.

In a new twist to King's bizarre love-triangle, RadarOnline.com has learned that Shannon has even taken legal advice about suing multi-millionaire King for ‘breach of promise’ after he made several assurances to her about their future as a couple.

“It’s absolutely false that I intend to sue Larry King.  It’s totally untrue,” a lawyer for Engemann told RadarOnline.com.

But now, Shannon's dreams of a life with her famous brother-in-law are in tatters as he has moved back into the family’s Beverly Hills mansion.

The feuding husband and wife have vowed to patch-up their troubled 13-year-marriage for the sake of their two sons Chase, 11, and Cannon, 9.

“Shannon is fighting mad she’s threatening to sue him for breach of promise if he does not come through. She's called-out to her lawyers and they have had chats to see if anything can be done.

As RadarOnline.com previously reported, King has moved back into the couple's home earlier this week, and they've called off their plans to divorce after accusing each other of extra-marital affairs: King with Shawn's own kid sister and Shawn with their son's hunky 31-year-old baseball instructor Hector Penate.

King, 76, and Southwick, 50, married in 1997. Amazingly the American television giant has been married eight times to seven women. He married his third wife twice.

But any plans of a smooth re-union with his current wife could be torpedoed by Shannon who totally feels like ‘a woman spurned’ right now.

At one time, King and his sister-in-law even talked about having a baby as the couple had a relationship that over-lapped Shawn’s affair with Penate.

King's ex-wife Julia Alexander King told RadarOnline.com that the couple knew about each other’s infidelities.
