Overview

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 a surrogate, 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 controversial 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. He also owns a farm. 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's last surrogacy experience was a total disaster, leaving him unwilling to risk intimacy or closeness again. He’s hurt, angry, and resentful—after ten years of being a surrogate, he feels exhausted and lonely, like his body was just a tool for carrying other people’s children.

Can this unlikely pair find a chance at love? Or is there more to this surrogate omega’s story than meets the eye?
