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?

The Heat

 Like their days in school, Delaney, Cora, and Constance strolled through the shops in the village, excited by the things they saw. They found a dress shop where the woman also made hats and that took up most of their time.

 When they left, Constance had actually purchased a lovely cream-colored dress with green ivy vines embroidered around it. The dressmaker agreed to have it delivered to Edgewood once the adjustments were made.

 The three women wandered down the stone cobbled streets, laughing and talking, their visit with Violet pushed happily from their minds. Miles followed them around and Delaney was pleased to see how enamored he was with his future wife. Cora was so clearly in love with him as well.

 The little pang of sadness snuck back into Delaney's heart as she imagined being here with Vincent and sneaking away to kiss him in a corner as her future sister-in-law was doing with Miles. She wondered how much longer it would be until he arrived home.
