A knock on Alara's door has her pushing a twin stroller through the world's streets. It was supposed to be babysitting, helping her ex-best friend because the look he gave her was one she could never resist. And now her choice puts her on a path she can't turn back from. Draven life turns upside down the moment he becomes a father. With his family's twisted past he finds it hard to keep his kids a secret and runs to a door he hopes will help. And when it opens, his heart crawls back to her with every beat that keeps him alive. She's his home, a home he'll protect with every breath. Something that won't be easy with war on the horizon and old high school feuds screaming for death. And with two innocent souls depending on them to survive, embracing their dark sides and pulling the trigger is the only way they'll protect their adorable smiles. *Warning this book contains → ⟦Smut⟧ ⟦Mature language⟧ ⟦Violence⟧ ⟦PSTD⟧ ⟦Vivid scenes of abuse⟧ ⟦Drugs and alcohol⟧ ⟦Cringe moments⟧ ⟦Awkward letters⟧ ⟦And slow updates (*  ̄︶ ̄) ⟧
