Her sister, a respected fertility doctor for the elite, works with women who carry babies for the rich. One late night, Janiyah overhears a business call. The payout? Life-changing.

His rules are non-negotiable. When Janiyah becomes Jamie's chosen surrogate, their worlds collide in explosive ways. What starts as a transactional arrangement slowly morphs into something neither of them expected. But can two broken people, one hiding behind money, the other running from her past really find something real in the middle of the most unconventional agreement? Strict contracts. Explosive chemistry. One dangerous deal. The Surrogate is a gripping tale of power, passion, and the kind of love money can't buy.

This is my first story. Very excited very nervous:) ********************** My doll deserves to be in a fucking dollhouse, so a dollhouse she gets. I clear my throat, trying to shake off the daze she's put me in."You know," I start, leaning forward with a smirk, "it's almost unfair how you make everything else in here look dull in comparison." She arches a perfectly shaped brow, amusement flickering in her eyes. "Flattery will get you nowhere." "Won't it?" I challenge, resting my chin on my hand. "Because if I keep going, I bet I can at least get you to blush." She scoffs, but the faintest hint of pink creeps up her cheeks. "You're ridiculous." "And you're stunning," I counter effortlessly.

He looks like he might close the space between us. He looks like he wants to. My brain supplies a dozen sane exits. My body refuses every one. He looks as if he might kiss me. So I do something- exactly the kind of crazy I'm proud of but later I regret. I bite him right on the shoulder. He's in a tank, and my teeth definitely sink in. "What the hell?" he jerks back with a sharp laugh, stumbling slightly. "Did you just bite me?" "I panicked!" I defend, a little too quickly. "You don't have to mark me when I'm already yours, Swan." he says. Excuse me? "What!?" I blink, nearly tripping over my own foot. "What did you just say?" He shrugs, all cool and composed, "I'm already yours." he repeats, like it's nothing. Like it's not the verbal equivalent of a punch to the stomach and a kiss to the soul. My jaw drops. "Are you- are you okay?" "Perfectly," he says, then taps his shoulder. "Just sore though." ✧𝐓𝐡𝐢𝐬 𝐢𝐬𝐧'𝐭 𝐣𝐮𝐬𝐭 𝐞𝐧𝐞𝐦𝐢𝐞𝐬 𝐭𝐨 𝐥𝐨𝐯𝐞𝐫𝐬, 𝐭𝐡𝐢𝐬 𝐢𝐬 𝐬𝐨𝐮𝐥𝐦𝐚𝐭𝐞𝐬 𝐭𝐡𝐚𝐭 𝐰𝐞𝐫𝐞 𝐧𝐞𝐯𝐞𝐫 𝐬𝐮𝐩𝐩𝐨𝐬𝐞𝐝 𝐭𝐨 𝐭𝐨𝐮𝐜𝐡 𝐞𝐚𝐜𝐡𝐨𝐭𝐡𝐞𝐫.✧ ✩Amara Fontaine, a 24 year old ballerina.
