My Disfigured Duke Husband Helps Me Plot My Revenge

A powerless woman’s worst nightmare is marrying someone against her will. When those who are supposed to protect her betray her in the vilest of ways, Leonor is forced to marry a Duke known for his cold nature and repulsive appearance. After a miserable childhood, it shouldn’t have been a surprise to her that her future was never truly in her hands in the first place. Duke Desmond de Montclair was nobody before the war. He garnered the King’s favor by doing the impossible in battle. Unfortunately, any achievement is eclipsed by his appearance and unbearable personality. In a kingdom that idolizes beauty, there is no room for someone like him. At first, Leonor finds life with the Duke to be what she’s used to - walking on eggshells and never speaking what’s truly in her heart. Eventually, things slowly start to change as the Duke learns about the horrors she faced while living with her family. His power becomes the key to her revenge. However, in a moment where she feels cornered, Leonor confesses to the Duke that she’s in love with someone else. The progress she has made with the Duke comes crashing down around her. Will her magic abilities be enough to convince the Duke not to throw her out? If she can make herself useful to him, perhaps she can gain his sympathy somehow…

A New Obstacle Presented

For very good reason, Leonor had always been timid around nobles. Noblemen were to not be trusted while noblewomen were entirely out of her realm. 

While she wasn't privy to all of the gossip in Burien, she heard enough to know that her perspective was unfounded. There was a nasty competitiveness that led people to do dishonorable things. 

The longer Alma stayed in Montclair, the more Leonor realized she was in a league of her own. She was who noble women strove to be and it was no wonder she was the center of noble society for many years before she took a step back from public life to live out the rest of her years more peacefully — until the duke summoned her as help for his wife.
