      For Maxine Williams, being married to Blake was an amazing adventure. Brilliant, charismatic, and wholly unpredictable, as an entrepreneur he had made millions and grabbed headlines. His only shortcoming was as a husband, and now they have worked out an odd but amicable divorce, and share three children they both adore. Blake gets to keep 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 child psychiatrist. Then, everything changes... Maxine finds a new love just as a tragedy transforms Blake from carefree playboy to compassionate, responsible grown-up. He wants Maxine in his life again--as a partner in a humanitarian project that could affect countless lives. But Maxine is on the cusp of a new life and almost certain that Blake, a.k.a. the Rogue, is a man capable of doing anything--except change...Or is he?

      In her 39th best-selling novel, Danielle Steel tells the story of three former college roommates—Mary Stuart, Tanya, and Zoe—who reunite after twenty years at a ranch in Wyoming. Once inseparable, they have since built separate lives, each facing personal challenges. During a summer when each finds herself alone, they come together to confront their pasts and rediscover their bond. Mary Stuart, married for twenty-two years, masks her loneliness with volunteer work while grappling with guilt over her son’s death. Tanya, a successful singer, enjoys fame but longs for the children she never had and reflects on relationships that have left her heartbroken. Dr. Zoe Phillips, a single mother and dedicated doctor, is overwhelmed with her responsibilities and must reevaluate her life when unexpected news arises. As they reconnect, the women navigate the pretense that has replaced their once-honest communication. Their time at the ranch becomes a transformative experience, allowing them to heal, confront old wounds, and reveal long-buried secrets. Ultimately, their friendship proves to be a cherished bond, offering them the courage to embrace change and renewal. Steel explores the profound meaning of friendship amidst life's complexities, resonating with universal truths.

      At once a loving legacy and an unsparing depiction of a devastating illness, Danielle Steel’s tribute to her lost son is a gift of life, hope, healing, and understanding to us all. “This is the story of an extraordinary boy with a brilliant mind, a heart of gold, and a tortured soul. It is the story of an illness, a fight to live, and a race against death. I want to share the story, and the pain, the courage, the love, and what I learned in living through it. I want Nick's life to be not only a tender memory for us, but a gift to others. . . . I would like to offer people hope and the realities we lived with. I want to make a difference. My hope is that someone will be able to use what we learned, and save a life with it.”—Danielle Steel From the day he was born, Nick Traina was his mother's joy. By nineteen, he was dead. This is Danielle Steel's powerful, personal story of the son she lost and the lessons she learned during his courageous battle against darkness. Sharing tender, painful memories and Nick's remarkable journals, Steel brings us a haunting duet between a singular young man and the mother who loved him—and a harrowing portrait of a masked killer called manic depression, which afflicts between two and three million Americans.
