About the book

Eve Hatch is surprised by a positive pregnancy test after a one-night stand with a man she barely knows. While the biological father remains largely absent, Eve finds an unexpected partner in Shep, her best friend’s brother. Shep steps into a supportive role, accompanying Eve to ultrasound appointments and helping her prepare for motherhood. The narrative follows their transition from platonic acquaintances to romantic partners against the backdrop of morning sickness, nursery assembly, and the logistical challenges of an unplanned pregnancy.

Readers who enjoy the friends-to-lovers trope and stories about unconventional family structures will appreciate this novel. It appeals to those looking for a low-drama romance that prioritizes emotional support and steady partnership over grand gestures. The story provides a detailed look at the physical and emotional shifts of pregnancy, leaving the reader with a depiction of how intimacy develops through shared responsibility and daily presence. It is a choice for those who want a grounded story where characters navigate major life changes with maturity and humor.
