RELEASED by Jeannette Lane, Romantic Fantasy
WORK IN PROGRESS SINCE 2020
After witnessing her brother’s untimely death, CYNTHIA is diagnosed with panic disorder and checks herself in to a mental health facility. On the night of her release from Aardenhall Institute, she runs into a mysterious man who equally leaves her feeling unsettled and exhilarated. Little does she know it’s WILLIAM GRAYSON, who had his own stay at Aardenhall 50 years prior. And that William isn’t human. He’s a vampire.
Drawn to one another by more than just primal attraction, Cynthia and William quickly fall for each other, and it becomes increasingly hard for William to conceal his true identity as a monster. Meanwhile, Cynthia’s mental illness rears its ugly head, trying to ruin everything she’s worked hard to build up.
Cynthia becomes fast friends with the five ‘alumni’ from Aardenhall Institute that she now shares a house with and particularly finds solace in her quiet, kind roommate Connor, who promises her a simple and comforting life free of danger. It’s tempting… but does Cynthia really want that?
On a fateful Valentine’s night, Cynthia discovers William’s secret and, even though his true nature is shown, she remembers that he’s shown her a life almost free of fear and uncertainty. And she knows she’s in love with a vampire and there’s absolutely nothing she can do about it.
Throughout RELEASED, Cynthia deals with realistic barriers caused by her panic disorder, but continues to rise above and give herself, love, and life a chance. Within the story, the reader is also given the opportunity to see the lives of her five housemates who each deal with a different mental illness and who bring something special to Cynthia’s life.
RELEASED is set in a small, gothic town and explores Cynthia and her friends’ stories as they navigate life and love in their twenties. At 112,000 words, it is a new adult paranormal romance with elements of fantasy and an #ownvoices narrative, discussing mental health and LGBTQ+ issues. It can best be described as TURTLES ALL THE WAY DOWN meets BORDERLINE by Mishell Baker.
