Privateer Van Gast thrills in capturing treasure; delights in pulling off elaborate scams; and has an outrageous reputation with the ladies. But there is only one woman for him: fellow privateer Josie-seductive, brave and unpredictable. He's hoping to make their relationship permanent, until he raids the wrong ship. Now slavers are stalking him, his crew is verging on mutiny and Josie has disappeared.

When she reappears with a new mark wanting Van Gast's help running the ten ruby trick con, he senses trouble. It seems like Josie has joined up with mage-bound slavers to turn him over to their Master. Van Gast is about to take the biggest risk of all-and find out the true meaning of trust and betrayal.

Re: Ten Ruby Trick

I don't know that they were rogues, but the fellow in the Jennifer Aniston movie where she is picked up by her ex husband bounty hunter. Can't remember the name of the actor but he was definately what I would think of as a rogue!

I know he's not a rogue, but there's something about Robert Downey's eyes and his smile!! You already mentioned Johnny Depp, who is one of my favorites. As for books, I got a big kick out of the Janet Evanovich series, if you want some lighthearted reading.

Ah yes, Robert Downey Junior. His Tony Stark is a rather loveable naughty chap.

I shall have to look out for that film Brenda.

Gotta love those bad boys! Always have - always will!

My favorite rogue has been mentioned. Johnny Depp makes a lovable rogue.
(Mary Preston 2:22pm January 20, 2011)

Eve's Roarke in the In Death books is my favorite rogue.

I have Oprah in Australia on & she has Russell Crowe with her - he's a Rogue - loved him in his new Robin Hood movie. Tomorrow she has Hugh Jackman on, he plays great Rogues, but he seems a great family man in real life - is that still a Rogue?
(Diane Sallans 4:34pm January 20, 2011)

Hmm Russell Crowe or Huh Jackman..Gladiator or Wolverine...that's a tough choice...

I "discovered" Richard Sharpe last year and have read all the books. I would vote for him as a favorite rogue.
(Carol Drummond 8:28pm January 20, 2011)

@Brenda Rupp -- Dahling, Every Woman should know who the Beautiful Man is....drumroll please...the one, the only, Mr. Gorgeous himself, Gerard Butler!

I just love Mal Reynolds! Have FIREFLY and SERENITY on DVD.

Which reminds me of another swoon worthy sci-fi rogue: John Crichton (aka Ben Browder), FARSCAPE. RAWR!
(Cynthia Netherton 10:14pm January 20, 2011)

@Carol - oh the only way they could(and did) make Sharpe better is by getting Sean Bean to play him!

@Cynthia - I have quite the crush on Mal - A rogue with morals. The fact he's hopelessly in love and doesn't know what to do about it is part of the charm too.

George Clooney is one of my favs, because he always gets a crowd on board with his plans like the movie Oceans 11 and Up In The Air which is about firing people.
