February 16, 2005: In California, bakery owner Aurora ?Rory? Constable and Tucker Shultz meet at a party. The duo is attracted to one another immediately and during a dance, he admits to ?foreplay?, but flees once the music stopped. Though he wants her Tucker backs off because she smells of marriage and children, relationships he is not ready for. --- Rory donates bakery goods to the ?Lock & Key charity event that she also is a willing participant along with two close friends, Michaela Corelli (see HARD TO HANDLE by Jamie Denton) and Lauren Massey (see ON THE LOOSE by Shannon Hollis). She and Tucker win a weekend together. While he wants just a two day fling, she knows he is her forever soulmate; now she has to persuade her beloved that he will never find another Rory.--- The third and final ?Lock and Key? torrid contemporary romance is a fine story though in some ways feels too similar to the previous tales that just came out in the last two months. Rory and Tucker are a likable couple and her explanation about Woodstock and her first name hooks the audience from the onset. Fans of the mini- series will appreciate Carrie Alexander?s fine finish to a fun trilogy.--- Harriet Klausner
