The End of Matrimony
Acerca de este libro electrónico
Men no longer seek wives—only wombs. Women, freed from archaic expectations, embrace independence, careers, and motherhood through sperm banks and surrogate negotiations.
Lena wants none of it. At 32, she’s avoided the cold surrogacy deals that leave women used and discarded. But when her sister dies, leaving behind a young daughter, Lena faces a brutal truth: the state won’t grant her custody without proof of a “stable household.”
Enter Victor Kain—wealthy, powerful, and in urgent need of a surrogate. His offer is simple: Lena carries his child, he provides the legal framework to help her keep her niece. No love. No marriage. Just business.
But nothing stays simple for long.
As Lena’s body changes, so does her guarded heart. And Victor—controlled, calculating—begins to unravel in the presence of her fierce defiance. In a society that forbids attachment, something raw and unspoken grows between them.
The contract has an expiration date. So does the illusion of indifference.
When the child is born, the rules say walk away.
But what if love is the final act of rebellion?
