His Christmas Carol

Carol had never thought of life as particularly hard. She just did what she needed to survive. She and her sister, Persephone, were happy and healthy, if a bit poor. They had each other and that's all that mattered. Then her world threatened to fold in on itself. Logan had been watching Carol for the better part of a year. She treated Persephone like a daughter so he naturally thought the child was Carol's daughter even though Carol was only currently eighteen. Which meant she'd been impossibly young when Persephone was born. Which made the father of Carol's daughter a dead man if he'd left the pair alone. Imagine his surprise when he learns the truth. Wondrous things happen at Christmas time. Even a lord isn't immune to the magic. Persephone was quick and intelligent and Carol even more so. It was enough to melt even the Grinch's heart. This is one lord willing to leap in any direction it takes to keep his girls.
