They love each other deeply but perhaps have becometoocomfortable, and their sex life isn't what anyone would call thrilling. So, on New Year's Day, Dominic blurts out a suggestion before it's fully worked out in his mind- what if they open up their marriage Daphne reluctantly agrees-with conditions. They can sleep with one other person, one night a year, and the agreement has a five-year expiration date. It's not a total free-for-all on their vows, but an amendment. They call it the Freedom Clause. It isn't long before Daphne and Dominic find themselves-and their marriage-altered 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 isn't a small change... it's a seismic one. Eventually, Daphne and Dominic are reconsidering everything-each other, their relationship, and themselves. Can they survive the Freedom Clause Do they even want to
