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?

Sadness

      Delaney returned to her Aunt and Uncle's home and it was almost like going back in time.  She found herself in her old bedroom surrounded by her old things.  Her Aunt and Uncle had thought that might help her return be easier on her.  They had even made sure their kitchen prepared their niece's favorite meal for the night she returned to them.

      There was no going back to the way things used to be for Delaney though.  Her life had been changed by Vincent and all they had gone through.  She was not the same woman now that she had been the day she left their home to go to her wedding.  None of these things were hers anymore.  Not the home or the bedroom or even the bed.  Her bed was in her bedroom far away in her home that she had shared with the man she loved.
