My Once Handsome Husband

Marriages are not a thing for love. They are a binding contract your parents make when you are a child and you will have no say in them. You are left to hope they bargained well. When Delaney Simms was born she was a beautiful baby everyone was sure would grow up to be as beautiful as her mother. So when Lord and Lady Adair approached the new parents to arrange a marriage for their handsome eldest son they were quick to accept. They had money but no title. The Adairs had titles and estates but they were falling into disarray due to lack of funds. It was the perfect arrangement. The children grew up and the fortunes of their families reversed. While the Adairs grew more and more wealthy, Delaney's parents passed away and she lost everything and had to live with her Aunt and Uncle. Her marriage contract was still binding though so at least she had that for her future. That was until word came that her handsome future husband had been sent to defend the kingdom against a dragon and had returned scarred and angry. Unable to escape her contract, Delaney was forced to marry the man who was now more of a monster. But could she ever learn to love him? Once they are married she learns there is much more to her scarred husband than meets the eye and she is soon swept into a life of witches, fairies, unicorns, pirates, and more. Delaney has made it clear she will never love her husband and he knows that. He makes a deal with her so they won't have to stay married forever. But what happens if now Delaney is the one to change her mind?

Lady Michael's Maid

 Delaney stormed out of Selina's house and didn't look back even when the woman called her name. She turned and walked towards the enormous stables. All of the friends had played here a few times as children so Delaney still knew her way around.

 Duncan's men all stopped to bow when she passed and asked if they could help her with anything. She asked them to point her in the direction of her husband and they did so.

 The stables were tall with high ceilings. Delaney walked past stalls filled with beautiful horses of all different sizes, shapes, and colors. Turning a corner in the maze of the stables, she came upon Vincent, Duncan, and a few of Duncan's men. They were looking into a stall, laughing and talking about a new little foal.

 Out of the corner of his eye, Vincent caught sight of his wife heading their way. He turned and walked towards her, his concern clear on his face.

 "What's wrong?" he asked when she got to him.

 "We're leaving."
