USA TV Drama Covert Affairs?

Right...Annie Walker is a new CIA recruit. Echoes of Alias: young, attractive, talented heroine, amazing linguist, etc. The pilot reveals that Annie fell in love prior to joining the CIA. It was a whirlwind holiday romance that looked serious until the bd ditches her mysteriously. She joins the agency having been spurned to focus on her career and she proves a worthy talent. At the end of the pilot it seems as though this boyfriend who randomly performed the disappearing act on her shows up to save her life. It's also revealed that Annie's superiors at the CIA are partially using her for her abilities (there isn't another attractive, young female recruit who's adept at the job) but they also have an invested interest in this boyfriend of hers, unbeknownst to Annie. The other epsidoes have been episodic and case related, but Annie's relationship with her blind handler, Auggie, is developing, and so are her skills, i.e. physical combat etc.
