E.L. James, author of Fifty Shades of Grey announces new book. Read an excerpt here!

E.L. James announced new book, The Mister!

Airing overnight in the US, a glossy TV interview shows superstar author E.L. James welcoming TV cameras into her private writing studio for the first time. It’s an understated space with lots of 50 Shades memorabilia and fan letters.

Most importantly, a stack of printed pages sits on her desk. It’s her new book, The Mister, due for publication on the 16th of April this year.

The Mister is an all-new story, the first book since the author rocketed to international stardom to break away from Christian and Anastasia of the 50 Shades series.

But the description sounds like it’s exactly the kind of thing that will appeal to her legions of fans – An aristocratic Englishman meets an unsuspecting young woman and in the author’s words “shenanigans ensue.“

We are almost 100% certain that “shenanigans” refers to wild sex. But you’ll have get your pre-order in to find out for yourself.

In the meantime, Penguin have teased us with this excerpt… Enjoy!

************

Alessia opens the door but freezes on the threshold of the room.

He’s here.

The Mister!

Fast asleep facedown and sprawled naked across the large bed. She stands, shocked and fascinated at once, her feet rooted to the wooden floor as she stares. He’s stretched across the length of the bed, tangled in his duvet but naked . . . very naked. His face is turned toward her but covered by unkempt brown hair. One arm is beneath the pillow that supports his head, the other extended toward her. He has broad, defined shoulders, and on his biceps is an elaborate tattoo that is partially hidden by the bedding. His back is sun-kissed with a tan that fades as his hips narrow to dimples and to a pale, taut backside.

His long, muscular legs disappear beneath a knot of gray duvet and silver silk bedspread, though his foot sticks out over the edge of the mattress. He stirs, the muscles in his back rippling, and his eyelids flicker open to reveal unfocused but brilliant green eyes. Alessia stops breathing, convinced he’ll be angry that she’s woken him. Their eyes meet, but he shifts and turns his face away. He settles down and goes back to sleep.

Can Maxim protect her from the malevolence that threatens her? And what will she do when she learns that he’s been hiding secrets of his own?

From the heart of London through wild, rural Cornwall to the bleak, forbidding beauty of the Balkans, The Mister is a roller-coaster ride of danger and desire that leaves the reader breathless to the very last page.
