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?

My Heart and Home

      The carriage came to a stop in front of the grand front doors.  The rain was still drizzling down, making the flames of the torches dance.  Delaney looked out and felt suddenly frozen in fear.

      This was it.  She was here at last.  She was going to walk in and see her husband, the man she loved.

      A footman came and opened the door to the carriage for her and Delaney knew she couldn't wait any longer.  Taking a deep breath, she let him help her down.  The poor man was clearly shocked to see the duchess of Edgewood step out without her gown over her layers but Delaney barely noticed.

      She was staring at the doors where they were now opening and a man was stepping out.

      Her breath caught in her throat when her gaze met a pair of beautiful green eyes.
