The #1 New York Times bestseller—a thrilling new romance from E L James, author of the phenomenal bestselling 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 reader breathless to the very last page.

"The book was great. It moved a little slow but the drama kept me interested and wanting to know what's next. The book ended with me in suspense wondering about the fallout...Couldn't fall asleep on this book! "

“A sensitive, skillful narration elevates this E. L. James novel… Narrator Dominic Thorburn uses an aristocratic British voice for Maxim, managing to gently express his wonder while eschewing earnestness…Narrator Jessica O’Hara–Baker treads the fine line between Alessia’s naïveté and ignorance as she moves capably through an unremarkable plot…Both narrators differentiate British, Polish, and Albanian accents with admirable care. Piano music performed by Alessia plays softly behind the text, adding another layer to the audiobook. Winner of the AudioFile Earphones Award.”
