Small mini-teaser of
Damage Owed
, the continuation to
A Debt Repaid.
"And this woman. Don't you believe she might be harmful to your
well-being?"
Chase shifted in his seat, nearly suffocating on the urge to strangle his psychologist for even thinking of that. "She's
necessary
."
More notes jotted down. "So necessary that you'll continue your association
, while knowing that she's the reason all of this is coming out now?"
More teeth grinding on
Chase’s part. "You said it yourself. Been saying it for years. Something had to break that part of me open eventually."
His therapist intertwined his fingers and leaned on the desk, staring right into Chase’s eyes. "Yes, but what about her? Chase, what you're dealing with is volatile. Will become even more so as your mind continues to sift through all those years of buried feelings. Eventually, you might become a danger to not only yourself, but
to those around you."
His nails bit into his skin as he clenched his fists. "I won't let it get to that point."
"You might not have a choice."
"I won't hurt her."
"Chase, I don't think you understand--"
"No. You don't understand." This time, Chase was the one that leaned forward, so that the man in front of him could see how damned serious he was. "I'm not letting her go."
About the Author
N. Isabelle Blanco was born in Queens, NY (USA). At the age of three, due to an odd fascination with studying her mother’s handwriting, she began to read and write. By the time she’d reached kindergarten, she had an extensive vocabulary and her obsession with words began to bleed into every aspect of her life.
An avid reader in her teens, her fascination with Japanese anime eventually led her to the universe of fan fiction,
which became her
on-again, off-again hobby for the next ten years. During that time she amassed a following of fans that, by her own admission, she would never be able to live without. It was those fans who encouraged her to step beyond the fan fiction realm and try her talent in the publishing world.
N. Isabelle Blanco now has three novellas and two full-length novels under her belt, and spends her days working as an author, web programmer, marketer, and graphic designer. That is when she isn’t handling her “spawn”, as she calls her son, and brainstorming with him about his future career as a comic book illustrator.
