Much to her surprise, the sensitive and guileless English major, Anastasia Steele, finds herself surrendering to an irresistible force, when an ordinary interview with the telecommunications magnate and enigmatic bachelor, Christian Grey, paves the way for an out-of-the-ordinary relationship. However, Grey's unexpected offer leads to an unusual agreement, one that will lure the incurably romantic woman into his well-hidden world. Now, little by little, Christian entices Anastasia into a sensual reality, seducing her to explore her limits in an unrestrained passion, and tempting her to embrace the cathartic feeling of being different. Above all, Anastasia wants to mend Christian's broken heart; nevertheless, for love's salted wounds, there are no safe words.—Nick Riganas
