Rogue - Danielle Steel

Meet Maxine Williams, a dedicated doctor with three great kids, a challenging career,
and the perfect new man in her life. Her only problem? Her irresistibly charming,
utterly infuriating ex-husband, aka the . . .

Rogue

Being married to Blake had
been an amazing adventure for Maxine. Brilliant, charismatic, and wholly unpredictable,
Blake Williams made millions and grabbed headlines as a dot-com entrepreneur. His
only shortcoming was as a husband-first his work and then his never-ending quest
for fun kept him constantly on the move, far away from Maxine and his family. For
five years Blake and Maxine have worked out an odd but amicable divorce, with friendly
though infrequent visits, a yacht he lends her every summer, and three children they
both adore. Blake enjoys his globe-trotting lifestyle-dating a succession of beautiful,
famous, and very young women-while Maxine raises their kids in Manhattan and pursues
her passion, working as a psychiatrist, a world-renowned expert on childhood trauma
and adolescent suicide. Then everything changes.

For Maxine it starts when she
falls in love with Dr. Charles West, a man who is everything Blake is not-mature,
grounded, and present. For Blake it begins when a devastating earthquake strikes
near one of his palatial foreign homes and he sees hundreds of orphaned children
in need of shelter. Now Blake wants Maxine in his life again-as a partner in a humanitarian
project that could change countless lives. For Maxine the choice is clear. But Blake' s sudden transformation-from carefree playboy to compassionate, responsible grown-up-raises
questions she's never managed to answer . . . and some she's afraid to ask. After
all, Maxine is on the cusp of a new life, about to marry Charles, and almost certain
that Blake Williams, aka the Rogue, is a man capable of doing anything-except change.

An unforgettable story of two people pursuing happiness from opposite directions,
Rogue is a journey of choices and the amazing opportunities that come together-just
when life seems to have been successfully rearranged at last.
