For Maxine Williams, being married to Blake had been an amazing adventure. Brilliant, charismatic, & wholly unpredictable, Blake Williams made millions & grabbed headlines as a dot-com entrepreneur. His only shortcoming was as a husband first his work, & then his never-ending quest for fun kept him constantly on the move, far away from Maxine & his family. For five years, Blake & Maxine have worked out an odd but amicable divorce, with shared homes, a summer yacht, & three children they both adore. Blake gets to keep his globe-trotting lifestyle
- dating a succession of beautiful, famous & very young women
- while Maxine raises their kids in Manhattan & pursues her passion, working as a psychiatrist, a world-renowned expert on childhood trauma. 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, & present. For Blake, it begins when a devastating earthquake strikes near one of his palatial foreign homes, & 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 grownup
- raises questions she's never managed to answer... & some she's afraid to ask. After all, Maxine is on the cusp of a new life & almost certain that Blake Williams, a.k.a. the Rogue, is a man of capable doing anything
- except change.. . Or is he?

An unforgettable story of two people pursuing happiness from opposite directions, Rogue is a journey of choices, second chances, & the amazing opportunities that come together
- just when life seems to to be falling apart.
