Sylvia Day

Penguin has announced UK sales of 50,000 paperbacks of Sylvia Day's "Bared to You," published last week (19th July), with almost 500,000 copies in print. A further 50,000 copies have been sold in e-book form, the publisher said. Rachel Russell, W H Smith business unit director, called the sales "astounding", pointing out they exceeded those of E L James' "Fifty Shades of Grey" in its first week of publication, before it became a record-breaking phenomenon..
