Rory and Peggy-SPOILERS

Favorite scene with Peggy- Attacked in the greenhouse. Favorite scene with Rory- Finally discovering the truth about the chemicals in the lab, and then thinking about Peggy when he finally has a moment to think. Together- Peggy angry when she discovers that Rory lied to her about who he really is. What did you like about Peggy- She made a wonderful home for her and her daughter and the people who needed a place to stay when traveling. She is both strong and innocent. She has a wonderful heart. What didn't you like about Peggy- Although I can understand about not wanting to get involved with another cop, you can't control who you fall in love with. She was unwilling to give Rory a chance to explain. She would have denied herself true love. What did you like about Rory- He was so smart. Although strong, he was like a little lost puppy who needed love. His love for Peggy and her daughter. Became a hero to Samantha re: her bunny. What didn't you like about Rory- There wasn't really anything I didn't like about Rory. Maybe he should have told Peggy the truth about him, but he couldn't. It had more to do with the job than with her feelings. Still, maybe he should have. If I had to cast Peggy, I'd cast Joanna Going. If I had to cast Rory, I'd cast Julian McMahon.

Rory decides that it is best if no one knows he is an FBI agent, and that includes Peggy Honeywell, the owner of the guest house at which he is staying.Peggy is a widow with a four-year-old daughter.

Rory knows that for her own protection he cannot tell her that he is an FBI agent. Peggy knows that she is falling in love with Rory, but what happens when she finds out that he is a cop. This book sets up yet another mystery in the Colton series. They do not mention many characters from the previous series except Joe and Colton.
