Could one night off a year save a marriageâor destroy it? In this bold and sexy debut, a young couple agrees to open their marriage, but they soon discover that a little freedom has surprising consequences.
Dominic and Daphne met in their first week of college, and theyâve been happily married for three years. They love each other deeply but perhaps have become too comfortable, and their sex life isnât what anyone would call thrilling. So, on New Yearâs Day, Dominic blurts out a suggestion before itâs fully worked out in his mind: what if they open up their marriage?
Daphne agreesâwith conditions. They can sleep with one other person, one night a year, and the agreement has a five-year expiration date. Itâs not a total free-for-all on their vows, but an amendment. They call it the Freedom Clause.
It isnât long before Daphne and Dominic find themselvesâand their marriageâaltered in unexpected ways. Embracing the spirit of the Clause, Daphne pushes herself to be more assertive in asking for what she wants. She begins chronicling her journey of self-discovery in an anonymous newsletter, sharing recipes inspired by her conquests, and soon realizes that one night off a year isnât a small change . . . itâs a seismic one.
Eventually, Daphne and Dominic are reconsidering everythingâeach other, their relationship, and themselves. Can they survive the Freedom Clause? Do they even want to?
