When unworldly student Anastasia Steele first encountered the driven and
dazzling young entrepreneur Christian Grey it sparked a sensual affair that
changed both of their lives irrevocably. Shocked, intrigued, and ultimately
repelled by Christian's sinÂgular erotic tastes, Ana demanded a deeper
commitment. Determined to keep her, Christian agreed.
Now, Ana and Christian have it all–love, passion, intimacy, wealth, and a
world of possibilities for their future. But Ana knows that loving her Fifty
Shades will not be easy, and that being together will pose challenges that
neither of them would anticipate. Ana must somehow learn to share
Christian's opulent lifestyle without sacrificing her own integrity, identity,
or independence. And Christian must overcome his compulsion to control as he
wrestles with the demons of a tormented past.
Just when it seems that their strength together will eclipse any obstacle,
misfortune, malice, and fate conspire to make Ana's deepest fears turn to
reality. Alone and desperate, Ana ultimately finds herself face to face with the
darkest secrets of Christian's past, and finally confronts the poisoned legacy
of the man she loves.
