    A drunken promise of betrothal has turned Thor's family against him. Will Thor earn Pia's forgiveness and find their runaway children in time for Christmas?

    After a night of cards and drinking, Thor's splitting headache is the least of his worries. When a messenger arrives with a contract for him to sign, his wife Pia discovers he's agreed to betroth their son to the Earl of Devon's daughter. Pia's beyond furious and demands he fix it—or else. After overhearing the argument between their parents, the twins Liam and Lily decide to runaway in protest of the contract.

      Chapter One

      This book is for everyone who wants more of Pia and Thor. I hope you enjoy it as much as I did writing it.

      I want to acknowledge all the people who helped make me look good: Christina, Debbie, Amanda, and especially my editor, Jennifer. I can't say thanks enough.

      Chapter One

      December 1875

      An emerald green vase flew across the room, hit the wall, and shattered into thousands of tiny shards. Quick reflexes allowed Thor, Viscount Torrington, to shift his head just in time to avoid it nearly connecting with his skull instead of the wall behind him.

      Pia, you really need to calm—

      This time a bronzed horse, crafted in mid-gallop, flew at him as he dodged to the right of his desk. He needed to subdue his wife before she permanently injured him. At the very least he wanted to stop her from breaking any other pieces of furniture or knickknacks lying about his study in her fit of rage. He didn't know what had brought on this impromptu temper tantrum, but he'd already had enough of it. The previous night’s overindulgence hadn't left him feeling well. His stomach churned and his head ached something fierce. He'd been sitting at his desk the better part of the afternoon staring at the same business reports, unable to decipher the meaning of them.

      How dare you tell me to calm down. I know what you did, you bloody idiot. Pia stormed towards him, waving a rolled parchment within her tight grasp. She twirled it around in circles with each step closer to him, her face growing a deeper shade of red. You have a lot of explaining to do. What made you think this bit of nonsense would ever be a good idea?

      Thor pinched the bridge of his nose as pain shot daggers through his skull. He'd been out playing cards with the Earl of Devon the night before, attempting to persuade him into doing a bit of business with him. The events of the night before were a bit sketchy in his throbbing head.

      I don't have a clue what you're talking about.

      Well, if you hadn't decided to get sloshed with the Earl of Devon last night maybe you'd recall agreeing to betroth your son to his only daughter.

      What? Of course I wouldn't.

      Her eyebrows rose in derision, her pale blonde curls framing her red face. Oh really? That's why the Earl sent over this document outlining it in fine details. He even signed it. His note says it has all of the items you discussed last night and he looks forward to doing business with you in the future. Just sign it and send it to his solicitors.

      Some of it started to come back. Devon had mentioned something about tying their families together. His daughter, Gemma, was a couple of years younger than the twins, Lily and Liam. Though they never really had any opportunity to interact with each other, Thor wondered why Devon would think Liam and Gemma would make a good match.

      Let me see it.

      Pia threw the paper on his desk and folded her arms across her chest. Her blue eyes glared at him as he opened up the document and read it. Thor scanned the contents and clenched his fists. Damn it, she was right. He was a bloody fool.

      You're right. It's a betrothal. In my defense, I don't recall agreeing to this.

      Well, you can just send Lord Devon an apology. We do not choose who our children decide to marry.

      How to explain it wasn't going to be as easy as she thought. He didn't want to betroth Liam to the earl's daughter, but it might already be too late.

      Now Pia...

      Don't even start, Thor. You messed up and you're going to fix it. Unless you want this to be the birthday and Christmas present you give your son this year. The twins are going to be turning fourteen this Christmas. Liam just got home from Eton. Are you prepared to spoil the holiday with your foolishness?

      I don't know if it's that easy. Apprehension filled him as he stared at his wife.

      Of course it is. Go over and tell him you’re a drunken idiot and you made a mistake. Trust me, if you don't make this go away, I promise you'll regret it.

      Thor ran his fingers through his hair and sighed in frustration. He didn't like it when Pia was angry with him. He had to repair this damage before his wife did some irreparable harm to an important appendage of his. No doubt it would be the most heinous of deeds.

      I assure you, I already do.

      "Good. Don't bother touching me until you make sure the Earl of Devon understands you are not signing a betrothal contract. I don't want anything to do with a man who plans
