About this audiobook
What if the promise you made to the dead became the one thing your heart could not survive keeping?
When Mae Ellis loses her beloved sister, Renee, she is left with grief, guilt, and one unfinished dream: the child Renee and her husband, Daniel, never had the chance to bring into the world.
Determined to preserve the future her sister planned, Mae makes an extraordinary offer. She will carry Renee and Daniel’s final embryo.
For Daniel Reyes, the pregnancy is more than a second chance at fatherhood. It is the last remaining piece of the life he lost. Controlled, guarded, and still wearing the weight of his marriage, he promises himself that his relationship with Mae will remain practical.
Appointments. Medical decisions. A temporary room beneath his roof.
Nothing more.
But love does not always arrive with permission.
As quiet mornings, midnight cravings, and shared fears draw them closer, Mae begins to see the lonely man behind Daniel’s careful control. Daniel begins to recognize the woman who has spent her entire life caring for everyone except herself. Their growing connection is tender, undeniable, and forbidden by the memory standing between them.
Then a shocking fertility-clinic error threatens everything.
The embryo Mae is carrying may not belong to Daniel. Another devastated couple may have a claim to the unborn child. With lawyers closing in, their families turning against them, and their private feelings becoming dangerous evidence, Mae and Daniel must decide what truly makes a family.
Blood?
A promise?
Or the courage to choose love when the whole world says it is wrong?
The Surrogate He Wasn’t Supposed to Love is an emotionally gripping story of forbidden longing, complicated grief, moral choices, and the healing power of a family built through love. Readers will experience a deeply moving slow-burn romance filled with intimate tenderness, difficult questions, painful secrets, and suspense that builds toward one life-changing decision.
Discover whether two broken hearts can protect the child who brought them together without losing the love neither of them was supposed to find. Begin Mae and Daniel’s unforgettable journey today.
