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?

Memories

 After their night playing cards with a prince, Delaney hugged Win goodbye, thanking him for the good time. He laughed and thanked her and Vincent, saying they hadn't ever had such an exciting night at the club and the Duke and Duchess should come back often.

 Curled up in the tiny bed in their tiny room in the inn, Delaney and Vincent slept late the next morning. When they finally woke up it was to the sound of people down in the restaurant laughing and talking.

 Delaney groaned and buried her head against her husband's chest, not ready to wake up yet. Vincent stretched, his muscles growing taut before he rolled over and hugged her to him, chuckling as he kissed her all over her face, making her wake up.

 Because of the limited space, Vincent dressed without Harris's help. Delaney smiled at her husband, helping him pull back his black locks and tie them at the nape of this neck. She stood back and looked at him, admiring his dark beauty.
