“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
"[J]ust as scandalous as you’d expect—but infinitely more insightful. [Sonnet's] reflections on her experiences will undoubtedly set your long-held beliefs about embodiment, mindfulness, trust, and pleasure on fire."
Oprah Daily
"[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!
