This is an MM ex-surrogate romance with a bought marriage contract theme.
------------------
After being left by his fiancé, omega Day Sanderson (34) lost all hope of ever being loved again. In desperation, he became asurrogate, spending years giving birth to eight children.
Feeling used and deeply depressed, Day decides to give matchmaking services one last try. That’s when he meets Storm Nolan, a man who takes his matchmaking job very seriously. Storm convinces Day to attend a marital contract open fair, where he’s forced to sit in a glass booth, being observed and assessed by alphas.
A man (26) approaches him, but something feels off. He looks more like a beta than an alpha, though he insists otherwise. Day doesn’t like him—he doesn’t want some weirdo—but desperation forces his hand. Needing the money from the marriage contract, Day lays down strict terms: no marital duties unless he consents to them. In fact, he can spend his days doing nothing at all, simply living in his "new husband’s" house and collecting his monthly allowance without any obligations.
Day is determined to keep his distance. His last surrogacy experience ended in disaster, leaving him unwilling to risk intimacy or closeness again. He’s angry, hurt, and bitter—ten years of rejection have left him feeling unloved, his body used only to carry children for other couples.
Can this unlikely pair find a chance at love?
Or is there more to this surrogate omega’s story than meets the eye?
