Chase Darrow is on the run.

Both Chase and her mother had this crazy idea that the government should not be in the business of deciding how she should live her life. But now the NSA has set their lead agent on her trail. He is known only as The Man, and his toxic masculinity is as ramped up as his strength and agility. In a way, The Man is a symbol of just how frightened the government is of Chase. They don’t see the nice girl who wants to be left to live her own life. They see someone who is either going to be a threat or an asset. They have given her the code name of Breathtaker.

Call Chase Darrow what you want, but whatever the label, the truth is that she is a nice young woman who was born with the power to love a man to death. Chase Darrow might be the only real, living example of a succubus. 

Breathtaker is part horror story, about a woman with the power to drain men of their very life force … part romance, because her lovers are her willing victims … part crime story, as Chase is on the run from a government that has branded her a criminal … and part superhero story: The Man, in addition to working for the NSA, is a popular television and merchandising figure who also happens to have extraordinary powers and abilities that he is using to hunt down and capture Chase in an effort to boost his sagging Nielsen ratings.

Breathtaker is all about Love, Death, Sex and Power.
