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?

Her Husband

 When the carriage arrived back at her Aunt and Uncle's home it stopped in front of the door to let Delaney out. A footman helped her down since Ian had ridden his horse straight back to the stables. She felt anxious as she walked up the steps and into the house. She hadn't been gone that long but she knew it was very unlikely her husband would have slept that late into the day.

 She waved hello to her Aunt as she passed the sitting room but didn't stop, wanting to get to her bedroom and find her husband. She wasn't eager to tell him this new information she had gotten from a doctor but she did want to know if he was still angry with her.

 Delaney stopped in front of her bedroom door with her hand against the smooth wood. She took a deep breath, steadying herself before entering in case Vincent was inside. It reminded her of when they had first been married and the knowledge made her sad.
