The book, titled The Mister, is scheduled to be released on April 16, the Vintage Books publishing imprint announced on Thursday.
The Mister, which James has described as a "21st-century Cinderella", features a rich Londoner who "has rarely slept alone" and a beautiful woman who is an "alluring mystery".
James says The Mister is a "thrilling and sensual" fairy tale.
It comes almost eight years after the release of the original Fifty Shades of Grey book, which turned into a billion-dollar movie franchise and launched James's career.
The Fifty Shades series originally consisted of a trilogy, but two more books have since followed.
James's Fifty Shades books have sold more than 100 million copies around the world.
