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…

In Hiding

The day felt long but evening finally fell over Montclair. Summers were Leonor's favorite because there was much more she could do without lighting a candle. 

However, that day she felt strange. 

With emotions raw and in every direction, each noise caused her to jump from where she sat on her couch staring at nothingness.

Leonor's sapphire eyes occasionally glanced at the cloak on her floor. Her face felt hot and she would look away quickly. 

Thinking of Valerio made feelings sprout within her that she hadn't had to deal with for a long time. She thought she had outgrown shyness. Men didn't make her nervous but she felt small and inexperienced the way she did when she was 16. 

Amongst her nerves, she was still angry he tried to hold the truth from her for so long. Did he not know how much she must be plagued at the very thought of him? Had anyone ever told him that she hadn't been able to let go?
