Tessa Williams is one brilliant rocket scientist, who just can’t seem to find a decent man to date.  Well she has had two men in her past that turned her head but the timing wasn’t right with either of them.  So she does what any self respecting scientist would and dives into her work whole hearted.  Now suddenly the government project she has worked on is coming to a close, but before they can finish, things start to go drastically wrong.  The coworker, the only other person with the launch codes, suddenly goes missing, and foul play is assumed.  Now Tessa finds herself under protection of N.C.I.S. and on the run for her life.

What are the chances that her protectors are the same two men who still have pieces of her heart?  More importantly these two men who have shared everything seem to not have told each other about Tessa.  What will happen when they are now suddenly on the run, and in close quarters?  Will these three be able to survive the red hot reactions to each other, and keep Tessa and National Security safe?

Spicy intelligent men, a sexy intelligent woman and a ‘who done it’ all in one story, what more could you ask for?  Nick and Jake are a pair to recon with and I love that Ms. Michaels has written just the woman (Tessa) that can take them both on.  There are a number of twists and turns in Leave Me Breathless, and I don’t mean just in bed either.  I have long enjoyed Ms. Michael’s writings and find the military/civilian tie in with Leave Me Breathless to be a great setting for this suspenseful romance.
