fierce love

Intensely protective affection

Fierce love is intense, protective devotion—love that defends and fights for its object.

The fierceness suggests passion that won't back down: She loved her children with a fierce love that scared anyone who threatened them.

The phrase often describes parental or romantic bonds where gentleness coexists with ferocity.
