“The unfiltered and eye-opening book you’ve been waiting for” (Cosmopolitan) from anonymous submissive immersed in the BDSM community, reckoning with the divide between our desires and the expectations and strictures that keep us from pursuing them.

Sonnet is a writer. She is a professional with a wide network of important people. She is athletic, creative and successful. She always remembers to send Christmas cards.

Sonnet also likes to be caned. She likes to be humiliated. She likes to go into a room blindfolded with ten strangers and have them do whatever they want to her.

Sonnet likes whatever you tell her she likes.

This is the secret memoir of a submissive. A vivid, electric, stunning account of how one woman gets her kicks. It is all true.

This is an experience that can’t be missed, all we ask is that you SUBMIT…

“[T]he unfiltered and eye-opening book you’ve been waiting for.”
Cosmopolitan
"Through...candid and open-minded experimentation— an attitude that characterizes both [Sonnet's] exploration of her sexuality in her life and her exploration of its ethical implications on the page— she follows her desire to kink parties, voluntary sex work, and scenarios that make Fifty Shades of Grey look like an afterschool special."
Oprah Daily
"[Sonnet's] highly explicit memoir reveals a side to female sexuality that has been taboo — until now."
The Times
"Sonnet...describes how her earliest explorations as a 'wide-eyed, excited, enthusiastic, curious and completely ignorant' kink newbie turned out to be nothing like she'd imagined."
Daily Mail
"[S]trikingly candid...The author escorts readers into the boudoirs, dungeons, bathrooms, and play spaces of her exhibitionistic life as a woman dedicated to BDSM servitude, encouraging readers not to make snap judgments about kinky folks. An intense and unapologetically sex-positive self-portrait."
Kirkus Reviews
“There’s a beautiful irony at the heart of this book. Because Sonnet’s story is not really about submission, it’s about resistance - the heroic refusal to live a life that was meant for somebody else.”
Keiran Goddard, author of Hourglass and I See Buildings Fall Like Lightning
"This book gave me an insight into a world I know very little about. It’s eye-opening, jaw-dropping and also inspiring. I love how Sonnet follows her desires with a spirit of adventure and fun. Nothing is shamed and nothing is off limits. It made me want to be bolder and braver. A liberating read."
Marianne Power, author of global bestseller Help Me!
