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?

An Unwelcome Plan

 Delaney was angry her husband wouldn't even consider anything but the plan he'd come up with. She stormed out of his study, passing Ian who raised his eyebrows when he saw her face.

   Up in their bedroom, she dropped into a chair facing the windows. Outside, the dark clouds were looming ever closer. The rain wasn't strong yet but the wind was blowing and making the drops hit hard on the house now. Down below there were already a few broken branches on the ground from the trees.

   Delaney pulled her feet up onto the chair, tucking them beneath her skirt. She rested her chin on her knees and starred out the window. There was an ache in her heart. She didn't want to be separated from her husband. His problem with storms was unpleasant but she thought they could handle it together.
