His Son Chose Me First

The Story

Wren Calloway clutches a single battered suitcase and thirty-six dollars after her husband evicts her from their home. She answers a peculiar advertisement seeking a mother for a son, arriving at Blackvale Manor where polished candidates await judgment. Milo, a guarded boy who has rejected every previous woman, walks past them all to select the rain-soaked stranger as his new mother. To survive, Wren accepts Damian Voss’s offer of a one hundred thousand dollar marriage contract with separate floors and no real intimacy. Her patience slowly reaches the child, helping him eat, sleep, and smile again. This progress causes Damian’s own defenses to crumble. When Wren’s cruel ex returns and secrets from the forbidden third floor surface, everyone expects Damian to discard his unwanted bride. Instead, he stands before them all and publicly declares her his wife. The arrangement began as a deal for Milo, but the boy chose Wren first, and Damian may be the one who can never let her go.
