Introduction

Severus Snape has spent over the last decade keeping his heart blocked off from the world. He's given up on finding his happiness and given up on love. When a new professor shows up and begins to melt away the ice of his heart, he finds new life within himself. But the ghosts of her past stand in the way, particularly an ex-lover of hers and a former enemy of Severus Snape. Can the two of them work through their own tribulations, or will his beliefs and values be cemented forever?
