Savage Freedom

Seven years of loyalty. Seven years of being the "other woman" in her own relationship. Riley Quinn has spent her twenties in Los Altos Hills waiting for Wyatt Harlan to finally choose her over the shadow of his college crush, Kendra. She endured the gaslighting, the broken promises, and the late-night "emergencies" that always took him away—until one birthday night changed everything. Now, the codependent girl Wyatt thought he controlled has been replaced by someone cold, detached, and dangerously independent. As Riley prepares to walk away from the Silicon Valley life they built, Wyatt shifts from a manipulative cheater to a desperate man obsessed with atonement. He’s ready to offer a ring, a future, and a lifetime of devotion, but Riley is already halfway out the door. With Kendra refusing to let go and Wyatt’s world crumbling around him, Riley must face one final question: is she escaping a toxic cycle, or is the most dangerous part of the relationship only just beginning?
