In Christian’s own words, and through his thoughts, reflections, and
dreams, E L James offers a fresh perspective on the love story that has
enthralled millions of reader around the world. CHRISTIAN GREY exercises
control in all things; his world is neat, disciplined, and utterly empty
– until the day that Anastasia Steele falls into his office, in a tangle
of shapely limbs and tumbling brown hair. He tries to forget her, but
instead is swept up in a storm of emotion he cannot comprehend and
cannot resist. Unlike any woman he has known before, shy, unworldly Ana
seems to see right through him – past the business prodigy and the
penthouse lifestyle to Christian’s cold, wounded heart. Will being with
Ana dispel the horrors of his childhood that haunt Christian every
night? Or will his dark sexual desires, his compulsion to control, and
the self-loathing that fills his soul drive this girl away and destroy
the fragile hope she offers him?
