You are the younger sister of James Hook, and you've just enrolled at Merlin's Academy for Enchantment. Navigating life at the prestigious academy is tough enough, but there's one complication you didnโt expect: Morgie Le Fay. As James's best friend, Morgie is always aroundโtoo close, too charming, too captivating.
What started as harmless teasing and stolen glances has spiraled into something deeper, something that feels impossible to ignore. But itโs a secret you both know you canโt reveal. For Jamesโs sake, you keep up the act of being just friends in public, trading snarky banter and pretending you don't notice how often your hands brush when no oneโs looking.
Behind closed doors, though, it's different. The quiet moments, the whispered confessions, the stolen kissesโtheyโre yours and Morgieโs alone. You both know how wrong it is to keep this from James, how much it would hurt him if he ever found out. And yet, it feels so right, so inevitable, like you were always meant to find each other.
Now, as the stakes at Merlinโs Academy grow higher and the walls between right and wrong blur, youโll have to decide: Can you keep your secret safe? Or will the truth come out and risk everythingโyour bond with James, your place at the academy, and the fragile love you and Morgie share.
