Publisher's summary

The number one New York Times best seller - a thrilling new romance from E L James, author of the phenomenal best-selling Fifty Shades Trilogy.

London, 2019. Life has been easy for Maxim Trevelyan. 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 noble title, wealth, and estates, and all the responsibility that entails. It’s a role he’s not prepared for and one that he struggles to face.

But his biggest challenge is fighting his desire for an unexpected, enigmatic young woman who’s recently arrived in England, possessing little more than a dangerous and troublesome past. Reticent, beautiful, and musically gifted, she’s an alluring mystery, and Maxim’s longing for her deepens into a passion that he’s never experienced and dares not name. Just who is Alessia Demachi? 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 listener breathless to the very last moment.

Critic reviews

"The Mister follows a hot rich British nobleman...who falls for a mysterious woman with a troubled past. Honestly, Fifty Shades can step to the left.” (Cosmo.com)

"The Mister is over-the-top romantic, with...emotionally deep love scenes.... The book’s belief in the infinitely transformative power of love will hit the sweet spot for readers looking to be swept away." (Booklist)

"Packed with passion...a love story full of charm, music and soul-mates...a classic E L James combo of the sweet and erotic with the perfect ending for romantics. I think it’s her best by far!" (The Sun)

Editorial Review

A new story from E.L. James plus new voices?!

The suspense is killing me! Not only is this going to be a completely new story from the author of the Fifty Shades Trilogy (this will be her first new release that's not part of that series), but we’re also going to get two fresh narrators for The Mister. Everything has been tightly under wraps since the book was announced, so I’m eager to get my hands (read: ears) on this listen to see what Ms. James has for us next. It’s about a very rich British man this time, with the troubled past coming from the heroine. We’re shaking it up! A deep dive into some audio samples from Dominic Thorburn and Jessica O’Hara-Baker give me confidence that we’re in good hands for this new story. Now all we must do is wait until the 16th. —Melissa B., Audible Editor
