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?

To Know Mason

  Delaney stared at Cora in shock, "Constance and Bernard are... are getting married?  Why?  Are they in love?"

  "They aren't in love.  They do care about each other though.  You know they've become good friends.  Constance loves baby Benjamin like her own and Bernard wants him to have a mother."

  "But Olive hasn't even been gone more than a few months" Delaney protested.

  "I know," Cora sighed, "That's what I said.  I don't think they plan to do it anytime very soon.  Bernard is still trying to learn to be without Olive.  But they've come up with the plan for their future."

  Delaney sat back, frowning. She wasn't sure she liked the plan but she couldn't really fault them for the decision.  They both loved Benjamin and they had both loved Olive very much.  They had spent a lot of time together.
