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…

Gilded Down to Her Anxiety

A gilded life of fine dresses, jewels, a warm room, and soft rugs under Leonor's feet as she wandered barefoot through the former Queen's bedroom. Yet the highlight of her life was the love the duke gave her relentlessly each day. 

She only thought of it as relentless because the beautiful dress being created for her the past few weeks was adjusted on the very day she was supposed to wear it because the marks on her breasts weren't proper to present to the kingdom–especially if her father was to be there. 

Leonor had been pacing around the chambers, unable to let go of her anxiety. From the meeting she was called into up until that moment, she didn't know what it was like to be without anxiety. The only time she felt a semblance of freedom from her worries was when Desmond overwhelmed her with his body. 

Her father had attended a meeting the day before and she entirely refused to even step foot in the main palace.
