Alessia regards her husband through heavy-lidded eyes. You''ll have to fight for him. Her mother''s words from their call this morning ring through her head. And fight, she will. Using every available weapon she has. She loves him. She knows this. She wants him. And she wants him to want her. What happens once the glass slipper fits...? Maxim Trevelyan, reluctant Earl of Trevethick, has pursued the woman he loves to the wilds of Albania. Having fought for and won her, he now has to wed her, at the sharp end of a shotgun.

Alessia Demachi has defied and outwitted kidnappers and traffickers, and won the heart of the man she loves, but can she make this marriage work? Confronted by Maxim''s lurid past, his forbidding family, and the looks and whispers of London''s elite, will she ever be seen as Maxim''s countess — or will she always be his former cleaner?

The #1 New York Times bestseller—a thrilling and seductive Cinderella love story from E L James, author of the phenomenal bestselling Fifty Shades Trilogy. Clasping her plait at the base of her neck, I tug lightly, bringing her lips up to mine. "Alessia," I breathe, and kiss her again, softly, slowly. She stills in my arms, then brings her hands up to clutch my biceps, closing her eyes as she accepts me. I deepen the kiss, my tongue teasing her lips, and she opens her mouth. She tastes of warmth and grace and sweet seduction. London, present day. Life has always been easy for Maxim Trevelyan, the "spare" to the earldom of Trevethick. With his good looks, aristocratic connections, and money, he''s never had to work, and he''s rarely slept alone. But all that changes when tragedy strikes and Maxim inherits his family''s title, wealth, and estates, and the responsibility that entails. It''s a role he''s not prepared for and one he struggles to face. But his biggest challenge is fighting his desire for an unexpected, enigmatic young woman who''s recently joined his staff. Reticent, beautiful, and musically gifted, she''s an alluring mystery, possessing little more than a dangerous and troublesome past. As Maxim''s longing for her deepens into a passion he''s never experienced and dares not name, he''s left to wonder just who is Alessia Demachi? And can he protect her from the malevolence that threatens her? From the heart of London through wild, rural Cornwall to the bleak, forbidding beauty of the Albanian Balkans, The Mister combines the sensuality of a modern Regency romance with the danger, desire, and adventure of E L James''s captivating storytelling, leaving the reader breathless to the very last page.

"And in this quiet moment as I close my eyes, spent and sated, I think I''m in the eye of the storm. And in spite of all he''s said, and what he hasn''t said, I don''t think I have ever been so happy." When literature student Anastasia Steele goes to interview young entrepreneur Christian Grey, she encounters a man who is beautiful, brilliant, and intimidating. The unworldly, innocent Ana is startled to realize she wants this man and, despite his enigmatic reserve, finds she is desperate to get close to him. Unable to resist Ana''s quiet beauty, wit, and independent spirit, Grey admits he wants her, too—but on his own terms. Shocked yet thrilled by Grey''s singular erotic tastes, Ana hesitates. For all the trappings of success—his multinational businesses, his vast wealth, his loving family—Grey is a man tormented by demons and consumed by the need to control. When the couple embarks on a daring, passionately physical affair, Ana discovers Christian Grey''s secrets and explores her own dark desires.
