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?

Rude Awakening

  Mason shot up out of bed with a loud string of curses.  He was dressed only in his breeches and his hair was a mess. He looked around with wide, bloodshot eyes. His expression was a mixture of anger and fear as he looked over and his gaze landed on Ilona still holding the cup in her hand.

  His chest was heaving and his eyes snapped to hers.

  "Who the hell are you?" he shouted, "What are you doing in my bedroom?"

  Ilona was clearly surprised by the level of fury in the man she faced.  She also could hardly believe just how handsome he was. Mason looked like a golden prince even in this rough state. Her fear outweighed her curiosity for him though.  Ilona pointed one finger in the direction of where Ian and Delaney now stood after jumping backward when Mason had exploded out of bed.

  Mason's ice blue eyes turned and landed first on Ian before dropping down to Delaney's face. He frowned and shook his head in confusion.
