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…

Curiosity Growing

The moment Leonor entered the library looking even more beautiful in a nightgown and robe, Desmond knew the day would hurt. 

However, he would rather have her close than anywhere else in the manor. Even if he couldn't touch her, at least he could admire her. 

God left him with one eye so he could at least witness the woman who was his wife. 

Desmond never fully engrossed himself in the book he was reading. He was thinking about many other things. Particularly, he noticed Leonor had pulled a pillow onto her lap and leaned into it while she read something intense in her book. Her eyes moving quickly was the way he knew she must have been reading something captivating. 

"What are you reading today?" Desmond asked her seemingly out of nowhere. 

Leonor felt embarrassed as she peered at the duke from over the top of the small book she held.
