Some agreements change everything.
This one might ruin them in the best possible way.

Brielle Monroe loves her husband. She loves her life, her child, their routines, their chaos. But somewhere between laundry piles, exhausted kisses, and years of being needed by everyone else, she stopped feeling wanted.

Then one reckless conversation turns into something dangerously real.

What starts as curiosity quickly becomes a line neither of them can uncross—awakening jealousy, tension, desire, and parts of Brielle she thought motherhood had buried for good. Suddenly, her marriage isn’t just surviving. It’s burning alive again.

But the deeper they go, the harder it becomes to separate fantasy from truth… and desire from emotional consequence.

Steamy, emotionally messy, and impossible to look away from, The Birthday Agreement is a provocative contemporary romance about marriage, longing, rediscovery, and the risks we take to feel alive again.

“Wear the red one.”
It wasn’t a suggestion.
Not a dare, either.
It landed somewhere between nostalgia and command, so clean and unapologetic it made her throat tighten.
Brielle looked at him, waiting for the joke.
But Jason was already walking toward her.
