🔎 Story Description:
Alaric Dorne is a cold, enigmatic literature professor whose love for the written word is matched only by his fierce devotion to his wife, Aurora, and their four children. Married since high school, Aurora and Alaric built their life through struggle, sacrifice, and unbreakable love. But when one of Alaric's students becomes dangerously obsessed, their carefully guarded world begins to crack.

As the obsession escalates into stalking, threats, and a fire that nearly claims their lives, Alaric is forced to confront the darkness he’s hidden for years—a darkness born from trauma, sharpened by fury, and barely restrained by the love of his family.

Aurora, a fantasy author and fiercely protective mother, sees the war within him. She knows the storm he hides—and believes in the man he is beneath it all. Together, they will fight to protect what they’ve built, and rediscover that even in the deepest shadows, love can still burn brighter than fear.
