UN

She was never supposed to be the one he fell for. As her brother’s best friend, he’s spent years keeping a careful distance. She’s the girl he grew up protecting, teasing, and pretending not to notice. The last person he should ever want. Then a potion accident changes everything. A harmless mistake in the Potions lab leaves her with a magical complication neither of them understands until weeks later, when she discovers she’s pregnant. There’s no easy explanation, no way to undo what happened, and no way to hide it forever. Terrified of what her brother will do when he finds out, she pulls away from everyone. Everyone except him. He’s the first person she tells, expecting him to panic or walk away. Instead, he quietly promises that she won’t face the consequences alone. As the pregnancy progresses, he becomes her reluctant source of comfort, sneaking her food when morning sickness hits, walking her back to the dorms when she’s exhausted, and staying beside her through every frightening magical symptom. But the closer they become, the more complicated everything gets. Because what started as a potion accident is forcing them to confront feelings neither of them was prepared to admit. And when her brother finally discovers the truth, the boy who was once his best friend becomes the person he blames for breaking his sister’s heart. Now they have to decide whether their accidental family is something worth fighting for, even if loving each other means risking everything.
