What a difference a year makes! If like me, you are afraid of the terrible virus wreaking havoc across the globe, your world will have become a lot smaller. And the biggest highlight of all for me, was that I got to meet so many of you!Īnd now a year later, I only leave my house in West London to walk the dogs, and we have lost dear Russell. Those were fabulous, heady days, and I got to share the company of my dear friend and publicist Russell Perreault and my wonderful publisher and editor Anne Messitte. That tour took me to New Haven CT, Miami FL, New York NY, Lexington KY, Naperville IL, Los Angeles CA, Atlanta GA, Tempe AZ, Chelsea in the UK and Toronto in Canada.
The Missus is a totally gripping love-story between two people who are clearly destined to be together but still need to work out how to reconcile their very different backgrounds.I can’t believe it’s been a year since I was in New York, enjoying the buzz and pace of the city that never sleeps, doing press interviews and signings out in Huntington and Paramus, and beginning my book tour. Walker said: “It is such a pleasure and a privilege to be working with Erika again.
James said, ‘What happens once the glass slipper fits? The Missus explores exactly that.” The novel ends on a ‘will they or won’t they’ moment, as many wonder if Maxim’s devoted protection of Alessia will extend to matrimony…and that is where The Missus breathlessly picks up the narrative. Its synopsis goes on: “Alessia, a piano prodigy in her home country, is intent upon protecting herself at any cost from the sex traffickers who have smuggled her out of Albania. The Mister, a modern take on Cinderella, explored the power dynamics and the intense love story between Maxim Trevelyan, an aristocratic “spare” who unexpectedly becomes a British earl upon the passing of his brother, and Alessia Demachi, a mysterious young Albanian woman who is harbouring a dangerous secret.Īs The Mister unfolds, the publisher continues, James explores the roles and the strengths of the two main characters, who find themselves in a desperate battle against much more than the social rigidity of English upper classes. Set to be published on 20th June 2023, the publisher describes The Missus as “a passionate and thrilling love story” and “a sequel that fans have been demanding", adding: “From Albania to London, and the wilds between, The Missus tells a poignant story of romance, interrelationship, and a love that transcends all obstacles." Publisher Selina Walker acquired UK and Commonwealth rights excluding Canada from Valerie Hoskins Associates to The Missus, the follow-up to The Mister (2019).
Century has announced the “passionate and thrilling” new novel from the author of The Fifty Shades of Grey series, E L James.
