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…

Another Path Ahead

Leonor wondered if all visits resulted in feeling like there wasn't enough time. People she had only just met and started feeling like she was close to had to be left behind as they pushed forward with their schedule. 

Even though there was always the promise of returning in the future, it still didn't feel like enough. Once a year to make lasting connections felt unbelievable. Yet there Leonor was, moving forward without being able to look back. 

The evening after telling Gerard that he would be the baron of Montville, the environment was electrifying as people easily conversed. The alcohol ran dry, and much food was eaten. 

Leonor was in disbelief that the time could end so abruptly until she was being helped into the carriage and the beautiful mountain township was a mere memory, slowly getting smaller as they went on.
