Found again. What's a girl to do?

Book Review:  Vanished by Karen Olson

Tina Adler's been found again.  She's been living quietly off the grid in Charleston, South Carolina, painting watercolors for a local gallery.  The Feds are no longer looking for her but Tony deMarco is -- he may have gotten his money back but he still wants her taken out.  Fearing she's been recognized, she does a little internet sleuthing and discovers that her love interest, Zeke Chapman, may be in danger.  She and his friend Spencer travel to Paris to try and figure out what's going on.

Eh.  I'm losing interest in the series.  It's more of the same -- Tina has found a new place along the ocean to lie low and a new art gallery to pay her cash for her landscapes.  She gives in to the temptation to go online, the bad guys start chasing her again, and there are brief scenes with her and Zeke.  There are too many easy getaways and vague situations -- I'm still unclear on what exactly happened with Zeke and Adrianna.  What's he doing for her and what's he doing for the FBI?  Adrianna's going after Tina because she can't get her hands on Zeke but Tina overheard her (or her minions) grilling Zeke?  What?

Tina clearly has a thirst for hacking, a target on her head, and a desire to be with FBI agent Zeke Chapman.  At this point, four books in, I don't know why she doesn't work for the Feds -- she could hack to her heart's content, have some protection from deMarco, and cozy up with Zeke.  It's all well and good that she wants to be by the ocean, painting and bicycling, but surely something could be arranged.
