Stories of women who chose an orgasm. Instead of an excuse.
Dahlia Midnight's debut novel — 'Secret Desires'. Erotic fiction that breaks taboos.
Done with it too? The Tinder dates that go nowhere. Getting yourself off out of pure frustration. The pretending that three minutes does the job.
One sentence. Four girlfriends. A secret that tips everything over. These are women who quit settling for crumbs and went for the whole feast.
You already know what you want. Here's a book that knows it too.
It follows women who made the call. The stories, the second-guessing, the moment it all breaks open. And by the end you'll have a different idea of what 'normal' even means.
-
No filter on any of it
Real women. Real choices. This isn’t some glossed-up Fifty Shades fantasy. It’s honest stories about doubt, nerve, and finally letting go.
-
Humor you'll recognize
It laughs at how ridiculous dating gets. At the double standard. At all the stories we tell ourselves to feel okay. The book is in on the joke.
-
The taboo, cracked open
Men have done this for centuries and nobody so much as blinks. The book makes the case that women get the same right to choose. No apology attached.
-
Done in a weekend
Short chapters. The afterglow lasts a lot longer. The kind of book you tuck under the pillow, then can’t stop texting your girlfriends about.
Quality isn’t a luxury. It’s a choice. Including in bed. Especially in bed. Because three minutes of panting and an excuse isn’t sex. It’s a waste of time.
What readers are saying
I couldn’t put this book down. Once I finished, I lay awake for hours - from recognition, longing, and hope.
This book says out loud what we all think but never dare to say. I felt seen like never before.
So what shifts once you've read it?
The way you see things. You stop judging women who make this choice. Yourself included. The book opens a door, and you won't want to shut it again.
-
'Normal' looks different now
By the end you’ll wonder how this was ever taboo in the first place. And why we spent so long acting like it didn’t exist.
-
You'll see yourself in it
In the doubt. The frustration. The wants you never said out loud. The book finally says what you’ve thought for years, and somehow that feels like coming home.
The confession that changes everything
“We all have our secrets,” Emma whispers. “But this secret… this changes your life.”
“I booked a gigolo,” Emma whispers. “And he was… fucking incredible.”
SILENCE.
At Château Wellness Laren you could hear a pin drop. Three women stare at her. Not with horror — with pure, burning jealousy, knowing their world has just changed forever.
“Three hours where every inch of my body was worshipped. His tongue… jesus, his tongue traced lines on my body I didn’t know existed.”
“You know what happens when a man treats your body like a sanctuary?” Emma’s eyes glint dangerously. “You learn to know yourself again.”
Mirjam stares at Emma’s radiant skin, her confident posture. This isn’t the Emma who was bitterly complaining about quickies and fake orgasms months ago. This Emma knows what she’s worth — and claims it.
“I’m not the same woman who settled for crumbs anymore.”
“And you?” she asks, her gaze now directly on the reader. “How long are you going to keep eating crumbs while a feast is waiting for you? How long will you keep pretending three minutes of pumping satisfies you, while your body screams for hours of pure, undivided attention?”
Because now you know what Emma discovered: you’re worth more than quick sex and fake orgasms. And you can claim it.
This is a story about why women are finally writing their own rules.
For women who know they deserve more than mediocre sex. For readers who found 50 Shades too soft and Bridget Jones too tame. For everyone who’s ready to write her own fucking rules.
And after the last page? That’s when your story begins. Because this book doesn’t end with “And they lived happily ever after.” This book ends with: “And you? What will YOU choose?”
