The book is titled “The Mister” and she announced the news on the Today show.

“It’s a 21st century Cinderella,” she said, describing the new story as “a roller-coaster ride of danger and desire that leaves the reader breathless to the very last page.”

The lead male character is named Maxim Trevelyan, and in one passage he’s described as, “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.”

The main female character is named Alessia Demachi.

She promises it’s a “passionate, erotic love story,” and it will hit store shelves on April 16.

E.L. James Responds to Comparisons Between 'Fifty Shades' & Donald Trump's Lewd Comments

Fifty Shades of Grey author E.L. James is firing back on Twitter against people saying that the so called Donald Trump “locker room talk” has nothing to do with her famous book series.

One former congressman Joe Walsh wrote on Twitter, “If women are so outraged by Trump’s dirty talk, then who the hell bought the 80 million copies of ‘Fifty Shades Of Grey?’ Grow up.”

“The word ‘p*ssy’ does not appear in Fifty Shades of Grey. And it’s fiction. You know. FICTION. #LearnTheDifference and #GrowUp @WalshFreedom,” E.L. wrote on her Twitter account.

Many are pointing out that E.L.‘s first Fifty Shades book was published in 2011, while Donald‘s offensive comments were made in 2005.
