LANEY
A novella by new author
CRISTANO LAW
Mariel K. Milton, a mild
mannered middle school teacher, draws the attention of the world around her as
she carries on her quiet little romance with her coworker, Clayton
DeLaney. In the world he shares with
her, Laney seems larger than life.
Colleagues fawn over him. Friends
and associates celebrate him. Yet,
Mariel leads a meek and humble life taking pride in challenging young minds,
preparing them for the world before them.
But, Laney’s other world, the
one that often steals him away from her, the one that tends to ruin their
perfect evenings together, will abruptly cut her romance short, challenge
everything she once believed about life, and in cold blooded murder steal Laney
away from her for the last time. With no
chance to grieve, Mariel is thrust right in the middle of the bedlam that was
his life.
Despite the relentless
pursuit by the assailants that threaten her life or the fact that the
authorities don’t believe that Laney ever even existed or the staff who thinks
she’s lost her mind, Mariel struggles to maintain her resilience through it
all. What’s worse is that her aging
parents are sucked up in the turmoil that has become her life.
As the secrets of
Laney’s life are revealed, Mariel is faced with the realization that in order
for her to survive this nightmare, everything that her beau was, she, herself,
may have to become!
Can she go it
alone? If not, then, who will help
her? And can they be trusted?
Who is Laney? And why did he have to die? The answers lie within!
