The Contract Stepmother

The thing he hated most in the world was women. But one woman had tricked him and even borne him a son. That only confirmed his belief that women were the most despicable creatures alive...

She had the worst luck. Not only had her old boss fired her, but as she sat on a park bench mourning the loss of her job, a little boy dropped out of the sky and called her Mom.

Was this some kind of joke? She was in her twenties, and aside from her father, she’d never even held hands with a man. How could she possibly have a son this old who had appeared out of nowhere?

She admitted she loved money, but surely Heaven couldn’t play such a huge joke on her just because she was fond of wealth.

Wait, they’d pay her to pretend to be his mother...? Why didn’t they say so earlier? As long as there was money in it, everything could be worked out.

But why was the kid’s father so irritating? He looked down on her and was so impossibly fussy. No matter. She could easily handle the little one, and she was sure she could handle the big one too...
