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?

Mischief and The Fishing Village

 Delaney waited up excitedly that night for her husband to return. She ate one last meal of soup in bed for her dinner even though the kitchen was preparing a real meal for everyone else.

 She heard the carriage arrive outside and hurried to the window. Looking down she saw her husband step out followed by Miles, Mason, Bernard, and lastly Ian. She smiled to herself seeing them all together. The pirate, the prince, and the noblemen.

 Pacing back and forth beside their bed, Delaney waited for Vincent. When the door finally opened and he walked in she rushed to him and threw her arms around him, kissing him deeply. Only a moment later though she caught a whiff of him and jumped back.

   "Goodness Vincent you smell like... like fish!"

   He grinned, "Well, my dear I was at a fishing village inspecting fishing boats all day long so I suppose it was to be expected."
