Being married to Blake Williams had been an amazing adventure for Maxine. Brilliant, charismatic, and wholly unpredictable, he made millions and headlines as a dot-com entrepreneur. But his work and his never-ending quest for fun kept him 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 visits, a yacht that he lends her every summer, and three children they both adore. Blake enjoys his globe-trotting lifestyle while Maxine raises their kids and pursues her work as 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, 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 leaves hundreds of children orphaned. Now Blake wants Maxine 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 responsible grown-up--raises questions she's never managed to answer....and some she's afraid to ask.

An unforgettable story of two people pursuring 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.
