Publisher's summary

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 dotcom 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 can't manage 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, a.k.a. the Rogue, is a man capable of doing anything - except changing.

Critic reviews

"Steel keeps the pages turning and offers a satisfying twist at the book's end that most readers won't see coming." ( Publishers Weekly)

Great Book

This is another great book by Danielle Steel. I would listen to this one again.

The narrator did a great job as well.

And, I loved the supervising ending. Even though right before it was predictable.

A good read

I thought this was a well written book for Danielle, it reminded me why I fell in love with her books. The reader was easy to listen to and the plot was interesting to me.

Beautiful Story

A little rushed at the end and you knew what was going to happen but the story to get there was wonderful.

Wanting more

Enjoyed the story, I couldn’t stop listening until the end. This is one of my favorite books, to listen too over and over. Never a dull moment. Hoping for a Rogue#2

A big disappointment

I have read many of Danielle Steel books. The whole book was like the character Charles. Very dull and lack-luster. Ms. Steel has written some great books but this one should have gone into the trash. I only gave it one star because the review required me to fill in those.

boring

this was a very boring read. narration was very boring also. very boring till the last chapter

Had trouble with this book

This book would stop all the time & I had to tap my phone to get it going again. Very frustrating

wanted this to be more

Hated the ending.
Disappointing.

Not sure you should waste your time. Wish I hadn't. I expected better.
