Exit to Eden is a novel by Anne Rice, initially published in 1985 under the pen name Anne Rampling, but subsequently under Rice's name.

Exit to Eden is notable in several ways. The novel explores the subject of BDSM in romance novel form. The novel also brought attention to Anne Rice's published works that differed from the type of writing she was better known for (e.g. Interview with the Vampire), such as her Sleeping Beauty series under yet another pen name. Additionally, a film adaptation in 1995 differed greatly from the book, with a new major story line and several new characters added.

The novel features as its primary characters Lisa Kelly and Elliot Slater. Kelly manages an isolated BDSM resort called Eden that offers its high-end clients an exclusive setting in which they can experience the life of a Master or Mistress. Prospective sex slaves, paid at the end of their term at Eden (which varies from 6 months to two years), are presented at auctions by the most respected Trainers from across the world. As Head Female Trainer and co-founder Kelly gets first pick of the new slaves, and chooses Slater -- with whom she shares an immediate and undeniable chemistry that intensifies throughout their time together, eventually resulting in love.
