Pat Tucker delivers a daring and thought-provoking contemporary romance that challenges conventional ideas of marriage, fidelity, and happiness. At the heart of the story is one couple’s bold attempt to preserve their relationship by rewriting the rules of commitment.

 

For Leela and Riley Franklin, marriage has been both fulfilling and fragile. After eight years together, they find themselves facing the dreaded seven-year itch—that restless stage when passion fades and routine takes over. As they watch friends around them separate and divorce, Leela and Riley worry they may be heading down the same road. Determined to keep their love alive, they strike an unusual bargain: once a month, on the last Friday, they each get a “free pass.”

On these Free Fridays, there are no boundaries and no consequences—at least on paper. They can spend the night however they choose with whomever they wish, and return home without questions or guilt. At first, the arrangement feels exhilarating, liberating, and even revitalizing for their marriage. They indulge in fantasies, enjoy the thrill of freedom, and believe they’ve found the perfect balance between stability and excitement.

But as weeks turn into months, the cracks begin to show. Jealousy, secrecy, and unexpected emotional attachments creep in, unraveling the trust they tried to preserve. The line between freedom and betrayal blurs, forcing Leela and Riley to confront what they truly want from each other and from marriage itself.

Free Fridays is more than just a provocative romance—it’s a social commentary wrapped in an emotionally charged love story. Through Leela and Riley’s unconventional pact, Pat Tucker raises timely questions: How do couples define success in marriage? Is it years endured, passion sustained, or honesty maintained? And what happens when partners push the boundaries of trust in pursuit of happiness?

As the Franklins navigate the thrills and pitfalls of their monthly arrangement, readers are invited to explore the fragile balance between desire and devotion, freedom and responsibility.

Free Fridays is a bold, sexy, and emotionally layered novel that tests the limits of love and fidelity while exploring what it really takes to make a marriage last.
