The Missus

The Missus is a captivating follow-up to the No.1 Sunday Times bestseller The Mister, offering readers an enthralling and passionate love story penned by E L James, the acclaimed author behind the phenomenal bestselling Fifty Shades trilogies.

In this riveting sequel, readers are thrust back into the tumultuous lives of Maxim Trevelyan and Alessia Demachi. Maxim, the reluctant Earl of Trevethick, finds himself far from the elite circles of London, journeying to the wild, untamed landscapes of Albania. Driven by love and determination, he is on a quest to win Alessia, the woman who has captured his heart. Yet, their union is far from conventional; their path to matrimony is paved with peril and dictated by the sharp end of a shotgun.

As Maxim steps into the role of husband, his reputation as a reformed rake and the scandalous secrets of his aristocratic lineage loom large. Will these shadows of his past sabotage his chances at being a devoted spouse, and threaten the happiness he seeks with Alessia?

Alessia, a resilient and courageous woman, has wrestled free from the clutches of kidnappers and traffickers to find love with Maxim. Now, she faces the daunting challenge of making their marriage thrive. As she confronts the spectres of Maxim's lurid history and navigates the rigid expectations of London's elite society, Alessia grapples with whether she will ever truly be seen as Maxim’s countess or remain branded by her past as his former cleaner.

The narrative of The Missus sweeps readers from the majestic peaks of Albania, through the serene beauty of the English countryside, to the glamorous yet formidable streets of contemporary London. It is a spellbinding journey that delves into themes of love, longing, acceptance, and redemption. With its richly drawn characters and evocative settings, the novel promises an unforgettable reading experience.
