Angel was a promising student-athlete when she was railroaded by her father and the DA into a drug trafficking conviction. Once released, she finally found work, only to find that she was hired BECAUSE she had a conviction because her employer Mason Lorde was doing something shady and found her easier to control that way. When she ran, she took some of the recently stolen loot, and managed to stow herself onto a plane heading to Florida piloted by Zane. Angel kept running, but with little resource to rely on, and Zane was clearly smitten by the mysterious, strong, yet vulnerable woman, they will meet again... and again. For Zane is not your typical charter pilot... but a DEA informant...
The emotional ties are real and not melodramatic, and the need to not involve others and keep their identities were paramount. I find this kind of "go away, don't get involved because I can't let you get hurt by people after me" motivations far more believable than the far more vapid "go away, I can't love you because I don't want to be hurt as you'll hurt me eventually" in many romances. The darkest hour was pretty dark alright, but the conclusion was almost all tell, no show and not that satisfying.
