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:
“the hatchlings wake in the swaying branches,
in the silver baskets,
and love the world.
Is it necessary to say any more?
Have you heard them singing in the wind, above the final fields?
Have you ever been so happy in your life?”
—Mary Oliver (b. 1935)
“Friendship can only exist between persons with similar interests and points of view. Man and woman by the conventions of society are born with different interests and different points of view.”
—J. August Strindberg (1849–1912)
