Hey! I know the answer to this one! It's '48 Hours Without Superman' by Kathryn Ann Kent. It's one of my favorites!
How about this one?
Lois Lane was feeling atypically frightened. With hindsight, she
wondered why she had ever allowed herself to be entrapped in this highly
vulnerable position. Lois was a wholly independent, liberated young woman
of the eighties who had been taking care of her own decisions since her
parents had participated in a particularly messy divorce when she was 14
years old. At the time she had felt totally abandoned as her mother had
found solace in a mixture of alcohol and nerve pills and her father had
immersed himself firstly in his profession as a doctor and secondly in his
predilection for pretty young assistants, which Lois reflected was the
cause of her parents' troubles at the outset. Had this rejection from her
father, the most important male figure in her young life, had some bearing
on the situation in which she was now floundering?
