Five months ago, it was supposed to be one night. 

Cal Mercer never expected it to mean more. But from the moment Nora Bell walked away, he knew he wasn’t over her. Not even close.

So when Nora shows up on his doorstep — pregnant, exhausted, and out of options — he doesn’t hesitate.

Nora isn’t looking for forever. Cal already knows she’s it for him.

A pediatric dentist with a steady hand and an even steadier heart, Cal has built his life around taking care of people. What he didn’t plan for?  The sudden wave of nausea, cravings, and emotions that hit the moment his nosy neighbor insists on tea—and doses him with something she definitely shouldn’t have.

While Nora carries their baby, Cal finds himself dealing with symptoms that aren’t supposed to be his…and feelings that are impossible to ignore.

But magic doesn’t create love; it only accelerates what’s already there.

Now Cal has to prove what he’s known all along…before Nora convinces herself to leave again.
