A Mom Club Confidential Novel

What if one locked door could change everything?

Claire Winslow is juggling three kids under five, a husband who barely looks up from his laptop, and a laundry pile that might qualify as a health hazard. Somewhere between preschool pickup and grocery runs, she forgot what it feels like to be wanted-and worse, what it feels like to want anything for herself.

So when her husband Nate leans in one night and murmurs, ""We need a signal,"" Claire doesn't hesitate.

The rules are simple:

If the laundry room door is locked, that's the pact.

No questions. No schedule. No guilt.

Just them, behind that door-who they used to be before kids, and who they might still be if they're brave enough to rediscover it.

What starts as a quiet experiment quickly becomes a lifeline-reigniting something Claire didn't realize she missed. But real life doesn't pause for passion. As old habits return, toddlers wake up early, and emotional distance creeps in, Claire finds herself asking:

Can one small door hold together a marriage that's quietly come undone?

And what happens when the signal gets missed?

Steamy, raw, and emotionally grounded, The Laundry Room Pact is a modern love story about long-term desire, the messiness of motherhood, and the secret spark that might still be hiding beneath the unfolded towels.

Perfect for readers who crave:

Marriage heat and slow, rediscovered passion Emotionally authentic domestic romance Relatable, real-life motherhood Playful, intimate writing with filthy undertones Group chat energy and secret pacts

The Laundry Room Pact is the first standalone novel in the Mom Club Confidential series-an interconnected collection of spicy, emotionally honest romances centered around five women, one group thread, and a whole lot of things they're not saying out loud.
