Free Extras
Reading is one thing. Letting it land is everything.
Going further than the last page: the free first chapter, the game for those who dare, and the free Phoenix Society community — with everything that comes with it.
Two ways to go further
Beyond the last page
The first chapter — free
The opening chapter of Secret Desires, yours the moment you sign up. Start the story tonight — no payment, no catch.
The game — conversation starters, for those who dare
The game asks what’s been sitting in your head for years, the things you never said out loud. Three levels, six themes. Play it with your partner, at a girls’ night, with friends. Free in your browser the moment you join.
A story can move you — only what you do with it changes your life.
Free community
Join The Phoenix Society for free
The free community that comes with the book. No sales pitches, no noise — just everything that belongs alongside the book, for women who dare to want more. One email address, and you’re in.
What is The Phoenix Society?
No cult, no sales pitch. A place for women who read the book — or just finished it — and think: now what?
A community of women who dare
Women who are honest about what they want. Who share stories. Who support each other instead of judging.
No cult. No bullshit.
No sales pitches. No vague promises. Just content for women who read the book — or just finished it — and think: now what?
The phoenix stands for rising again
For women who shake off the ashes of their old selves and discover who they really are.
You are not alone
Read other women’s stories. Share yours. Sometimes it helps to know you’re not the only one who feels this.
And you also get
The book and the game are a start. But it doesn't stop there.

What happens next with Mirjam? With Ruth? You hear it first.
Behind the scenes

Your story counts
The Forum
Some conversations you can’t have with your friends. Not with your sister. Not with your therapist. But you can here.
Post anonymously — Share what you need to without your name.
Find recognition — “Oh god, I thought I was the only one.”
Ask for advice — From women who get it.
Success stories — Inspire others with your leap.
Moderated, safe, free of judgement. What’s said here, stays here.

Reading together is different from reading alone. In our monthly book club we dive deeper.
Chapter by chapter
What moved you? Where did you flinch? Where did you think: that’s me?
Character analyses
Why did Ruth do what she did? Would you have done it differently?
The uncomfortable questions
The things no one dares to say out loud.
Guest discussions
Sometimes Dahlia joins in herself. Or one of the real ‘Spa Sisters’.
What you won’t get: Spam. Your data sold. Boring newsletters.
