Love Interests
When Corey is first introduced in Plum Island, he is separated and eventually divorced from his first wife, defense attorney Robin Paine, who makes a brief appearance in Night Fall. The ostensible reason for the separation is due to a change in her career; she had stopped working on Corey's side of the law, as a Manhattan assistant district attorney, and had become a high-paid defense attorney for the criminals he was trying to "put in the slammer".
In Plum Island, he becomes romantically involved with two characters he meets in the course of his investigation:
- Emma Whitestone - florist (business owner), archivist and President of the Peconic Historical Society
- Elizabeth (Beth) Penrose - homicide detective for the Suffolk County Police
Corey's involvement with Penrose continues in The Lion's Game, where he meets and later marries FBI agent Kate Mayfield.

Famous quotes containing the words love and/or interests:
“Where there is no exaggeration there is no love, and where there is no love there is no understanding. It is only about things that do not interest one, that one can give a really unbiased opinion; and this is no doubt the reason why an unbiased opinion is always valueless.”
—Oscar Wilde (1854–1900)
“Are we bereft of citizenship because we are mothers, wives and daughters of a mighty people? Have women no country—no interests staked in public weal—no liabilities in common peril—no partnership in a nation’s guilt and shame?”
—Angelina Grimké (1805–1879)
