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…

Forcing His Hand

From the moment Desmond left Leonor behind to go to the border, he felt a sense of peace he wasn't familiar with. 

Someone was waiting for him to return. The trip he was going on was relatively safe and Leonor in the end was practically promised.

His future finally felt like it was worth living. All he had to do was get through confessing the truth to Leonor. 

While it wouldn't be easy, it would be necessary for them to ever move forward with one another. 

The hug they shared made him certain she liked him for him at that moment without knowing who he was before. While he hadn't fully shown her himself, he was certain she wasn't disgusted with him. 

While he could never compare to Valerio in terms of appearance, he could offer so much more than the poor stablehand. He hoped that outweighed the cons of his shortcomings at that moment.
