Sonnet is the pseudonym of a businesswoman based in London and New York.

"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!

"[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

"[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
